Placement Problem

Kenly is experimenting with humor. She's quite funny most of the time. She likes to blame using to much toilet paper on Chance or Daddy. So, I was shocked/amused when this conversation happened.

Kenly had an accident in her pant--a poopy accident to be specific. I took her to the potty and...

Me: You had an accident, and it's okay. Big girls don't put their poop in their pants. Where do big girls put their poop?

Kenly: (with a smirk) In their pants?

Me: No. Try again.

Kenly: (with a monstrous grin and chuckle) In Mommy's face?

Me: (trying to suppress a laugh) No darling. Where do big girls put their poop?

Kenly: In Mommy's hair?

Me: (with a more stern tone) Kenly, where do big girls put their poop?

Kenly: In the potty, Mommy.


This was only funny because I know she meant no disrespect. She doesn't even realize how gross the concept of putting poop in someones face is, or maybe she does. Yikes.

Am I a total failure as a mother?
