The Poopie Monster

(sung to the tune of "C is for Cookie" by the muppets)

Now what starts with the letter "P"?
"Poopie" starts with "P"!
Let's think of other things that starts with "P"!
Uh. . .Uh. . . Who cares about da other things?!

P is for Poopie
It's what I did last night.
P is for Poopie
It's what I did last night.
P is for Poopie
It's what I did last night.
Oh, poopie, poopie, poopie starts with P!


That's right, ladies and gentlemen. It's been 3 days, and mommy and daddy (and grandma) were starting to worry, but last night, after 5 to 10 minutes of fussy behavior that was very foreign to our son, a sudden wave of calm and stillness crept over his body. As I looked down, I felt those little abdominal and leg muscles begin to work, and then I heard the most wonderful sound a father could hear. Poop! You know you're a parent when...

While I could have brought in pictures of my son and his poop (yes, we took them, but only to show my wife who was in the other room), I have decided to wisely not go that route. Something about listening to the hearts of the readers, or playing to the masses, or some such nonsense. If I was a pop artist, it would be called "selling out." If I was a performance artist, it would be called "hip."


FINAL STATUS UPDATE
(since leaving the Hospital)
Poop: Once.
Peed on Dad: Twice.
Peed on Grandma: Once
(almost Twice. She's quick!)
Peed on Mom: None.
Peed on wall: Once.

Hmm, in that one picture he looks like he may be conducting an especially quiet passage. The keyboard in the background is a nice touch - is he reaching for it yet?

You have good writing skills, Grasshopper, as though you'd been "sprinkled" by the Muse.

Poopie Monster!? Now whenever I try to think of the Cookie Monster I think of something brown and stinky instead. Thanks a lot.
