The scene: the tub in the master bath.
My two and a half year old, yet to be potty trained daughter (aka "The Noob") is having her bath while I mindlessly toy around with my iPhone. You never know what cool new apps have been added in the last 24 hours. I hear the gentle splashes as she plays and scoots around in the water.
My ears were not prepared for the complete sentence that followed, not just because of the fact that it was a complete sentence but just because of what she was saying.
The Noob: Look, Mommy. There's poopies in the water!
Me: WELL CRAP!!!
The Noob: CRAP Mommy!!!
That is all.

I love it! "There's poopies in the water"--like they somehow magically appeared, much to everyone's surprise! I know that scene all too well. It's one of the reasons I let my daughter play with cups, bowls and buckets in the tub, rather than filling the tub with water. I've never really enjoyed fishing.
As an infant I apparently pooped EVERY single time I was put into water- and my mom loved to take me to the pool... so she would dip me in the tub first-*poof magic* poops would appear!! And then it was safe to take me to the pool!!!

Oh, EMMETT! Why'd you poop in the water, silly girl? Now you have a doo-over bath. (You're right. Puns ARE fun.)
