Priceless Conversation

I was sitting on the couch and Drew was playing on the floor. All of a sudden he said, "Mom, you made me real mad when I pooed yesterday". My three year old said it so matter of fact. I couldn't believe we were having a frank conversation about poo and feelings. Stifling my laughter and composing a somewhat serious tone I replied, "What did I do that made you so mad?". Drew said, "when I pooed". He wasn't upset at all, just laying the facts out for me. Confused about exactly what about me and poo upset him I pressed further. "Was it because I made you go poo?" I asked. Then a deflated "yeah" came out of him. Wanting to resolve the situation I said, "Well I am sorry I made you mad when you pooed, but it is mommy's job to potty train you, but thank you for telling me your feelings". I hope him and I can always be this frank about life's important matters.

If only we could all be so frank and open about our various bodily functions.
