What's down there???

Okay - so - here's the famous vent story. It's quite embarrassing as a mother having this happen under my watch....but at the same time....it's just downright hilarious!

Back 5 years ago - Jason and I bought my parents house...the one I was born and raised in. Logan was....3.5 years old...and Wade was 2. I'm still not sure how wise this was at the time - but they shared (and still share) my old room. Well, the two of them were in "quiet time" so I could get some sanity. I heard giggling and such - and went into their room to check on them - only to find them quickly dropping the floor vent back into place.

Hmmmm......I bet there's a toy down there.....

So - I asked Logan "what did you put down there?"......nothing......So - I did what any mother would do. I lifted up the vent because whatever toy they shoved down there SURELY needed to come out! Logan started giggling. Hmmmm........"what are you laughing about Logan?"
"Dere's poopy down dere"
"Riiiiiiiight.....what'd you put down there Logan?"
"Dere's poopy down dere"
"Logan - there's not poopy in the vent"
"Uh-Huh! Dere's poopy down dere!"
"No there's not - and I'm going to show you!"

Probably - Rule #1 should be to trust the 3.5 year old! He's giggling...AND...adamant.....hmmmm


Apparently I don't catch on to the "signs"...because I have to tell you - when I grabbed a hold of that dry....hugely round.....long.....and extremely dried out turd....I screamed in disgust.
Of course - that sent my two adorable little boys in a furious laughter! I wanted to say "why didn't you tell me!?!?!?" HA! He had....and I wouldn't listen. I'm not sure who decided to do that....I'm not sure how.....or why....or WHEN it got in the vent for that matter....but that is a memory that will stick...eh-hem...haunt me forever. lol
