Not to be confused with his brother Pepto...


This was my conversation with The Golden Boy last night, after he and his dad returned from hunting camp.


"Mom this day was A. Bismal.


First, I was FROZEN in the woods.


Second, well, we hit a DEER with the truck on the way home and dad’s grill is smashed. AND it scared me.


Third, I fell off a LADDER. That hurt.


Fourth. Wait, I know there’s more........ Fourth, Cincinnati won.


Fifth, Dad has to go back to camp tomorrow.


And sixth, I had to poop in the woods.



(Medium part two, if you care...)

    Sounds similar to my opinion of duck hunting on the Mississippi River in Iowa with my father when I was kid. My brother loved it - I DID not.

    btw - they are both okay. Had a guardian angel watching when they hit that deer on the highway. AND when he fell from the ladder RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME.

    Jesus. I need a drink.

    Golden Boy reminds me of my Elijah. He would have such a list of the bad stuff that would make me laugh. They seem to forget the fun stuff.

    -->The irony of hitting a deer after being at a deer hunting camp is not lost on me. At least he's old enough not to think it was Rudolf!

    I yi yi! That's a lot! Glad they are all okay. And did you read Brian Miller's post about playing the wood and poison ivy? Now THAT would have been A. Bismal after pooping in the woods :-)

    You think that is bad, I had to poop on the ladder...

    You would have to pay me good money to drop a twosie outside.

    Okay, well not YOU personally, but you get the idea.

    I think your husbands a bit confused on the concept of HOW he's supposed to get the deer. Glad they're o.k.

    Tee hee, poor kid had to poop in the woods. Isn't that the whole idea of camping?

    Is that how you hunt in Oregon? You run over the deer?

    The poop in the woods was the icing on the cake.

    Glad they're okay. That pooping in the woods would be the line in the sand for me.

    I took a classic dump on my "Hot Seat" butt warmer attached to my hunting suit... I left it in the woods for someone to discover and wondered the story "behind" it...Drinking, and hunting is a bad idea!

    It's amazing that kids remember pooping outside as if it were a momentous occasion. B still talks about the time when she did 3 years ago!!!!!

    Pooping in the woods wouldn't exactly be the highlight of my day either. Of course, my idea of hunting includes a cellophane package and a grocery aisle, but still.

    Those sum up the reasons why my hubby never joined the family hunting tradition.

    Dang. I envy you.

    I'm not in the mood (I almost said Moose) to be clever.

    We're all being clever here. How about a little sincerity? I know, I've read yours. You ARE totally sincere while being funny.

    But I want to know. Don't you ever get pissed off, want to punch some guy in the face? How to do resist the temptation? In your beautiful blog, there is a total absence of anger.

    Maybe I should start working with kids. Someone just said that to me because little kidlets are constantly running up my stairs to visit.

    I mean, it's not me, I have popsicles...that's all.

    Sounds like an excellent intro to the great outdoors -- he's starting with appropriate expectations.
