We Are The Poo-Poo Heads

Written by Gerard on Thursday 8 February 2007

Poo has become the word of the moment in our house. Between Rachel and Jake, everything they say or do has poo added to the end. Their favourite insult (or compliment) at the moment is "You're a poo-poo head!" I say compliment because they all seem to love being called it, apart from one of their little friends who takes it as the kiddie equivalent of character assassination.

What are you having for dinner tonight kids? Poo and chips. What's on the TV? Power Poo-poos. What should we do this evening? Go for a poo-pa-lee.

We're going along with it for the time being, until the next fad comes along - and rest assured it will. Probably the worst thing to do right now is order them not to say "poo" and risk turning it into a way to challenge us. So, as of 7:00 every evening, a familiar cry will sound out around our house:

"Time for bed, poo-poo heads!"
