I was rolling around on the floor with some of my young nieces and nephews and somehow the word “poop” entered the conversation. Every time I said it, the kiddos would burst into hysterical fits of laughter.
Soon I was trying variations. Loud poop, soft poop, high poop, low poop. There was Dr. Seuss-style poop. Ploopity-loopity-poop.
I would hold my breath, act like I was ready to burst, and then explode with poop … figuratively of course.
The kids were laughing so hard that soon the adults had tears running down their faces too. It was one of the moments of contagious joy.
How I wish I could just bottle that up and share it with all of you. So I thought I would start with this.
POOP.
Did you smile? Heck. I smiled just typing it! So there. It’s a start.
Where is all this leading? Nowhere. But of course if you read this blog you’re accustomed to that. I just thought it was time to plow new ground. First major blogger to use “poopy” in a headline. A true milestone in social media history. Eat my dust, Brogan.
Sometimes it’s challenging to provide meaningful content on {grow} and have fun too. I’ll often look back at a week of posts and think, “It’s time to lighten up man. That was some serious shit.” Or … serious poop. Either way.
So thanks for hanging with me on a not-so-serious, offbeat post. Now, I double-dare you to re-tweet it. People will think you’re crazy but this might be your only chance to legitimately use “poopy” in a tweet. That is my gift to you. Share the love. Spread the poop.
