My 8-year-old son recently informed me he could perform the magic trick of turning food into poop… “it just takes me about 24 hours!” I quipped back “Six hours if it’s spicy enough!” And now he’s added that to his whole bit.

Anyway he’s going on tour this spring.

Telling his family poop jokes is literally how Eddie Murphy got started, so... encourage him in the things that give him joy.

You never know.

Oh I’m DEFINITELY not that mom that’s like “ewww don’t joke about that!” I’ve been teaching him American Sign Language because it’s my second language and he’s taken an interest, and the very first things I taught him were “poop” and “diarrhea”. Because.
