Poop

Sometimes I think that our thoughts are like poop.

At first we don't know about poop. We just do poop. Sometimes we poop in diapers and it gets uncomfortable but all we know to do is just sit there until someone comes to change us and clean us up. We think it's someone else's job to take away our yucky poop.

Other times we just sit in our poop. We don't know what to do with it so we just sit in it and play with it and examine it and generally make a mess of things. We can even ask for help with this poop situation. We can find someone to talk about our poop with. They might even help us see poop we didn't even know was there! But unless they show us how to use the toilet it can't do much good.

When we hang out with wise gown up people we might realize that there is another way. They aren't covered in poop all the time, although they must poop.. We all do. That is when we learn what to do with poop!

When you use the toilet you can have your poop but it doesn't have to cover you and make your life stinky and uncomfortable. You just do your business. You even get to see what your poop is all about..  "Oh look, I need to drink more water" .. Or, "Wow, that was some yucky uncomfortable pooping just now. I'm not going to eat there again any time soon." But after that, you get to flush and be all squeaky clean again.

Yes, everybody poops! But it's important to remember to flush.
