Everyone poops. We know this. Entire books have been written on the subject. And obviously, children of potty training age -- or for that 
matter, even older -- find the word "poop" and all its scatalogical cousins absolutely hilarious.
Yet even though I am well aware of this information, I have still been amazed by the number of Kids Say the Cutest Things! submissions that have centered around toilet activity.
One example:
"Today I will go poo-poo in the big potty. And it will be very loud."
Another:
"Me: Did you poop in your diaper?
Rowan, 15 months: No.
Me: Who did, then?
Rowan: Grandma!!!"
And another, courtesy of 2-year-old Cayden:
"(Leaning on the toilet to get his bottom wiped) 'K-O-H-L-E-R. Says potty!'"
I'll concede that these fall into the funny and cute category. But they still make me wonder why parents tend to remember their kids' witty bathroom commentary so well. Is it the strange intimacy of the activity that makes everything about it seem comical? Are we suffering from Freudian-style anal fixations? Or is toilet humor simply the finest comedy known to humankind?
Perhaps I am getting a bit too philosophical about all this. But if you have theories, feel free to share them in the comments below. And if you have some funny, adorable kid quotes, scatalogical or otherwise, by all means submit them to Kids Say the Cutest Things! They can be about poop if you want. Seriously. I don't give a ... well, you know.
