This post is all about poop
There are a few things about parenting that are truly disgusting. Booger picking, diapers, potty training, drool and puke, to name a few. A lot of them become so commonplace that you forget how gross they really are. Diapers are no big deal after a while. Booger removal beomes an art form. Even sitting on the floor next to the toilet wiping my child's ass is losing it's nasty factor.
Up until this point, I think the worst thing I've had to deal with was pulling a turd that was stuck half up Jamie's ass out for her. I grasped it with a wipe, but it wasn't enough to keep from feeling it's shape and texture. I imagine you get the point.
The other day, I found a hair in Katie's diaper. This in itself isn't unusual, since we have 3 cats and their damn fur gets into everything. But this hair wouldn't wipe off. I grasped it, along with the slimey poop that was coating it, with a wipe. It didn't pull off. I tugged. It tugged back. This hair was stuck inside. I finally got a good grasp on the offending hiney hair and started drawing it out. This wasn't a cat hair. It was a long, curly, shoulder length refugee from MY head.
I'm still skeeved out just thinking of it.
