I don’t know about you, but I need a laugh today. Who better to provide a laugh than a child. I do need to warn you that “bathroom talk” is involved in this and if you’re uncomfortable with that … then you might want to stop right here. This is simply another example of why Lea needs lots of prayers living in a house full of boys.
Cooper, my 6 year old, had been in the bathroom for quite a while when I heard him yelling, “DAD, COME QUICK! DAD, COME QUICK!”
Only being six, there are occasions when Cooper still needs a little help in the bathroom. So, thinking he needs a little help, I get out of my chair as the sounds of “DAD, COME QUICK!” still bellow from the bathroom.
I open the door and ask the little man, “Hey buddy, are you needing some help?”
“No Dad, come here!” Cooper says, still perched up on the toilet.
I walk a little closer and ask him, “What is it, Son?”
He leans forward just a shot as if to show me something and says, “Dad look, you got to see this thing!”
I lean over and take a cautious look at what he’s wanting me to see. Wow, I have no clue how something that big could come out of a body of a child that small. My first and only reaction is, “WOW Cooper that thing IS HUGE!”
Cooper looks up at me with a grin that reaches from ear to ear and proudly says, “Thanks Dad!”
You would have thought that I had just paid the boy one of the biggest compliments in his life.
I am a Christian husband and father, who moonlights as the minister for the church of Christ in Childress, Texas. My wife Lea and I have been married for 23 years. We are doing our best to raise our 4 boys, who are all growing up way too fast.
That is hilarious!!! I’m often amazed at how “large” things can come out of the little ones I watch as well. Hopefully Timbra will share her traumatic stories about the ones I watch from this pas week!
full of it was he?
oh and how’s the laryngitis?
I giggled. Then I was afraid…Noah will be at that stage before too long….
::shudder::
I’m sure I’ll laugh then, too.
Thanks for the warning! Like father, like son. I think this conversation would have warranted a “DUDE”.
Great story. I have been there too. There are some things that only fathers & sons can share. Moms are usually unimpressed by such “creations”, but Dads know just the right words of encouragement.
Sad and weird as it is, I can’t wait until these days. Noah’s so curious and fun now.
funny, and normal.
my little girl occasionally wants to see what she produced in her diaper.
Our grandson once refused to let me flush the toilet. He wanted Grandpa to see!
Too funny!!
hope you feel better.

I have a 21 month old boy who already likes his dad to see his “poo-poo.” Not quite huge yet, but they sure are stinky!
That made me chuckle. Good to see you both at The Bakery this afternoon.
Funny! And truly a father / son moment. My brother went into a public restroom and saw a rather large gift left in a stall … only the giver was so proud of it, he left a business card with it!
Kind of makes me glad we had all girls.
What? No pictures for the site???
Great story Trey! God bless! Peace.
Been there. It’s almost like a hobby for boys, isn’t it?
That turd! – oh.. no pun intended..
Trey….I told my boys this story and now…I am called to the bathroom 4 times today, and Michael is 12. They are grounded from blogs!
too funny… I can hear Morgan laughing and saying the same thing about my youngest when he found that the toilet had been left unflushed. He was amazed at the size for such a little guy. Better keep the plunger handy. HA!
Tell Lea those daughter-in-laws sure are nice to have around as well as the granddaughter after a house full of boys.
Thanks for that.
Hey Trey!
I needed laugh today!!! Just so that you know, girls do the same thing!!! It’s not just a “guy” Thing!

I wish “potty” humor were not such a BIG part of my life with three-year old twins. I have big expectations for summer since my son we are STILL working on potty training my son! Please pray for success – the price of Pull-Ups is killing me!
Brandon: My aunt has a picture of all the different designs of toilets in europe. I do believe she would laugh at this post.
