The Big Book of Poop
When you first have a baby, you spend hours gazing into his/her little face, dreaming about the person they will become. Will they have your way with words? Their dad’s height? Their grandma’s musical ability? Their uncle’s artistic talent? Imagine my pride when I got home from work the other day and saw on the kitchen table, a book written by my own son. Clay had not only written, but had also illustrated his very own book. Yes, I thought, my son is following in my footsteps! He’s going to be an author! Sure, he’s only seven years old now, but he’s undoubtedly destined for greatness! And then I actually looked at the book. Yeah. Let’s just say that I hope Clay has a “Plan B” for future employment.
Here’s a sneak peek at Clay’s masterpiece. I may have to take orders for this book as I’m sure you’re all going to want your own copies for your coffee tables.
-
Poop
A favorite word for seven year old boys everywhere.
-
Butt
It's like a Dr. Seuss book. Splat butt poop, it looks like soup.
-
Sinker
This is what happens when you don't get enough fiber.
-
Floater
I love how he identified and labeled the undigested corn. Classy.
-
Splat
I think this is what happens when you eat half a dozen Fiber One bars at once.
On the bright side, he’s spelled everything correctly.
Buy Because I Said So! Hey, it can’t be any worse than the Poop Book.
I think you should scan his drawings and have them printed into a little book from a place like Walmart for posterior’s (lol) sake.
Lol, that’s pretty awesome. Gross, but what 7y/o boy isn’t? :)
At least he isn’t writing about where babies come from! I shudder to think how graphic that book would be! Give him a few years. ; )
My boys 7 and 5 don’t talk nearly as much about poop as my husband. I swear it’s his favorite past time. I think this could be a number one seller, lots of people are fascinated by poop!
Maybe his obsession with poop means he’ll grow up to be a Gastroenterologist one day. See, he’s going to be a doctor one day!
About what I’d expect from my 7 year old! He and my 9 year old constantly talk about poop…announcing to the world when they have to go, what it looked like and how long it took. Why on earth would anyone want to know all that? Only little boys!!
that is hilarious. my dh would like it, too. (i think he is 7, too) LOL
Classic. My kids ALL love the word “poop”. And I think Corie (above commentor) is wrong – this would clearly be a “Number Two” best-seller. ;)
Hey…how many 7 year olds can spell splat correctly anyhow? Genius!!
We all have to start somewhere. I believe my first literary attempt was about farts.
That is funny! Little boys seem to care and talk (and write and draw) about the grossest stuff! Yesterday at church a lady had her grandsons there and they were talking about teeth being lodged in the roof of the mouth and bones being broken like I would describe what my favorite thing is to eat at Applebee’s! God bless you for raising 3 of these creatures called boys.
Has Clay read the book about the mole who wants to figure out who pooped on his head? I found it at amazon, and the list of other books that are recommended would interest him perhaps even more. It’s called “The Story of the Little Mole Who Went in Search of Whodunit”. http://www.amazon.com/Story-Little-Mole-Search-Whodunit/dp/081091641X/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1317671311&sr=1-1
There’s even a “plop-up” version…
I am quite impressed with this “I Love to Poop Book.” It reveals an analytical mind. The information is well-organized. How much more can you expect from a seven-year-old? Tatjana (pebblemeddle.wordpress.com)
Oh my gosh.. Yep you got a boy.. I can’t imagine the teachers face when she saw that. I do hope he has an understanding teacher..
When my son was little and potty training he would only pee on the toilet. He would yell ” Put a diaper on QUICK ” Then he’d go in his closet to do the deed. I actually found some smears on the wall in there. Glad those years have passed :)
I love the detail! My son was in tutoring and the tutor came to me to tell me how my son wrote poop. I don’t think she was expecting me to be so happy that he actually spelled and wrote something on his own. I’d be so thrilled over a book about poop!
You may have a future gastroenterologist on your hands. Or a lab tech at http://www.enterolab.com.
My 6 year old son would LOVE that book.
That is so funny! That is a keeper for sure. You can bring that out to show his girlfriend one day. Thank you for the laugh!!!
Some one once told me “Corn. The BORROWED vegetable”……….. kind of says it all, doesn’t it?
wow, that’s ummm, creative! I think you totally have another author in your midst. He can write instructional books. Maybe even books for Dr’s to learn from. Yea, that’s it.
I have a permanent smile on my face!! This is just hillarious!! Oh, what you might be thinking…….that is such a boy thing to do!! Oh, I look forward to the day that (and I know it happens to us all) that poopy-head comes out of his mouth. LOL *I roll my eyes* Dr. Oz would be proud!

This has “Bestseller” written all over it. It also shows that he’s going up with “love” in his heart. Keep writing and drawing, buddy! :)

That is too funny! I have no idea what kids fascination with talking about poop is. My boy did one of those ad libs fill-in-the-blank stories once and everything was about poop and farts…As a grown person now, it’s just baffling, but there was a time when….. :D ~ Jennifer http://www.SupermomWannabe.com
