Aunt Sindy, come quick! Stevie is locked in the outhouse and wont come out!Sigh, never a good thing to hear. The current outhouse is a one sitter, and no room at all for company. So now I apparently have a 6 year old in there who is crying and screaming and will NOT unlock the door and come out. Now when Stevie is calm and trying he is easy to understand. When he is in this state though everything his speech teachers have taught him has gone right out the window. All I can make out is something about a black cat. A black cat? I hadn't seen a cat down here at all. Oh well, I do manage to get him pried out of the pooper and headed to the cabin. Umm...something smells a bit off. I sit Stevie down on the back porch and make him calm down to tell me what happened. This is proving a bit more difficult than what I expected. He keeps getting all worked up again, tears and snot everywhere. I finally have to recruit Johnny to tell me what happened to his brother. "Oh that...well...ummm... Stevie had to poop. And I kinda sorta threw a black cat into the window at him." Stevie is furiously nodding his head up and down at this "And...ummm...it might have really scared him when he was pooping." Okay, I can deal with that, and even accept responsibility for knowing where he got the idea from. I turn to Stevie, "Hunny, you have to calm down. Your okay. It was only a little noise, stop crying." Well by now Stevie has at least calmed down enough that I can understand him through the tears. "I can't...it's the poo" Ah,the poor child never got to finish his business. "You still have to go poop?" "NO! You is making me SIT in it!" ACK! It seems that Stevie heard his brother and cousins as they were beginning their assault on the outhouse. He was already seated, but just HAD to see what the other boys were up to. So he stands up JUST as the black cat comes flying through the outhouse window. The bang scared him so bad he pooped. And the poop landed back in his pants that were down around his ankles. Unfortunately he didn't notice that until I made him sit down on the back porch. |
