I like to kill 2 birds with one stone.

I’m working on a post about how some people in the blogosphere are annoyed with Mommy Bloggers, particuarly those who tend to discuss their offspring’s fecal habits and/or post “inappropriate” photos of their kids.

And, well, I’ve clearly done the first, and been accused of the second (of course, that is in the eye of the beholder, says I).

You know, they say you should “work smarter, not harder.”

So just to be irritating, why not combine the two?

I had really given up on finding a reason to show you this masterpiece that Braden created for the amusement of John and myself, but I dug it out of my photo collection just for you guys.

Here’s an inappropriate photo of my kid’s feces.

I like to call it, “The Poop Stands Alone.”

*watches subscriber count fall*

Have a great weekend, all!

One wonders if it fell like that, or if Braden actually balanced it himself.

Is he an aspiring artist? Or maybe a sculpter?

You are the most hillarious person I know. Who else would have:

1) LAY the camera on the floor to get an artistic shot of poo
2)Perhaps lay yourself on the floor to see the view finder
3) Spend time LOOKING for that picture
4) Post the picture on their blog

That is so funny….you rock!

I think I just puked a little in my mouth. Hilarious, though. Seeing poop still makes me wanna vomit…even though I have one baby, 2 cats (with litterboxes), AND a Yorkie who “pretends” to go potty outside just to come inside and go all over my freshly mopped floor.

#37 by Sarcastic Mom on April 5, 2008 - 1:02 PM

This Military Mama – Glad you liked my son’s incredible balancing artwork.

A Whole Lot of Nothing – that’s me in a nutshell, baby. C-L-A-S-S-Y.

Taz –

the planet of janet – the feeling is mutual, babe.

To Think is To Create – hey, I take Poo Photography serious.

seven – I don’t know if that’s a huge compliment, or a testiment to how shitty (hehe) your week has been!

tommie – oh yes he diiiiid, grrrrrrlll

Kara – down to earth mommy – it’s probably a good idea to make sure the main facial orifice is completely clear at all times when visiting here.

BusyDad – I’m glad you picked up on that. I almost called it, “The Poo Is Knockin’ But It Can’t Get Out.”

Lindy – yes, thank heavens for solid poos. And actually, John was in the kitchen, and turned around just as it was dropping to the floor. Then Braden ran away. So John busted out laughing and called me. We’re into celebrating the important things as a family, you know.

MizFit – So what are you so afraid of? You’re afraid that you’re not sure of a love that there’s no cure for? Hahahaha….

Veronica – it totally fell out of his ass and landed that way. I’m adding that to my about me: “Veronica loves me, so shove off.” Also, I’m not pointing, it’s just a general thing I notice here and there. Heh.

AnnD – Whew. I’m glad I’m not the only one that thinks Poop Sharing is cool.

witchypoo – Masterpoop!? AHAHAHAHA! That rocks.

dkaye – mostly, no… mostly I say FUCK ‘EM… but then there’s the insecure, sensitive side of me that cries in a corner.

Stacey@Real World Mom – You are the Pun Queen!

Law Student Hot Mama – oh, I’m really referring to a general dislike of anything perceived to be a “Mommy Blog,” but there will be more later. I’m gonna have a whine fest soon. Heh.

Secret Agent Mama – Only you? As in…

Only you can make this world seem right
Only you can make the darkness bright
Only you and you alone
Can thrill me like you do
And fill my heart with love for only you

Yeah? I thought so.
(I’m into song lyrics today, apparently.)

Rebecca – Thanks! Scatastrophe is my favorite story about poo so far. Although, I had a fun tub one with pictures, too.

Tara R – how can you not be? I think I’ll tell him to add this photo to all his college application submissions.

Michelle – it’s good to know that you can equate and balance foul with funny. You’re my kinda lady.

Gordo – damn right, man! And mooning is optional, but recommended.

HappyCampers – aww, you spoil me.

Ashley – I think Yorkies fit int he microwave just as well as Chihuahuas do. Just sayin.

Natalie – Hehehehe.

Elizabeth – aww, shucks, thanks. I’ll be over later today.

Connie – well, he’s a butthole then. I’m just callin’ it.

HRH – oh, yes, honey, I so very much did.

Frances – my pleasure!

AMomTwoBoys – haha, yes, I think that photo would fall into that category. I’m sure you posted it just to advertise to pedophiles. At least, that’s what I’ve been accused of.

Mr. Lady – Woot! But… wait… you weren’t ALREADY subscribed? *cries in a corner*

Sadie – cohones, yes. And a penis. And it’s really very much bigger than anyone else’s. Shhhh.

Linda – but you can see the artistic beauty, no? Heh.

lceel – apparently, his butthole is an artistic genius – it fell that way.

Sue – please don’t die about my son’s feces!

Gabriel – Exactly, my friend. We must pretend like doodoo is not funny? I can’t live that way, I tell you!

Honestly, what is the big deal about mommy bloggers. The ones I read definitely do not make it out to be that their kids shit rainbows, as I’ve seen some complain about.

Honestly, people need to grow up (and that poop shot is HILARIOUS!!)
