You can tell I’m pretty tired…The Jack poop story
Thursday, August 14th, 2008This is probably one of those stories that you had to be there to find it funny, but I still laugh so hard I cry and can’t talk when I try to tell it.
About a week ago, I woke up around 1am to Jack (one of our dogs) whining incessantly and looking towards the back door. In my hazy state, I thought “he has to go out” and then I looked down and so two black piles on the floor of our bedroom where he lies down. Oh great, he pooped. Colleen was sleeping on her crib mattress next to us, so I couldn’t easily deal with this. Thus, I woke Tom up from a sound sleep to let him know. We both stared over the foot of our bed at the two piles and after a bit, Tom simply swept both piles under the end table with his foot! For a second, I thought “oh my goodness, he is so exhausted he doesn’t know what he did!” and then I realized…they were Tom’s black socks!! Not poop at all.
So, now when Tom goes to put on his socks, he says “I’m going to put on Jack poop” and I still start laughing uncontrollably–so, this is what it’s like to be sleep-deprived for over year…
