Lunchtime Conversation with 4 year olds

November 5, 2012 by Mom on the Make 4 Comments

Interview with 4 year oldBam Bam has a friend over this afternoon for a playdate.  When we sat down for lunch, I served each of them two slices of pizza, pulled up my chair, and asked how school was today.

They told me that they visited Stinkyfoot town today.  I said “wow, that’s neat you were able to take a field trip today.  What was in this town?” (I figured I’d just play along)

They said there were stinkyfoot trees, stinkyfoot sand, stinkyfoot stores, and stinkyfoot people.  Meanwhile throughout this “discussion”, they were cracking up like they were at the funniest comedy show ever.

What is it about potty talk?  I mean seriously, it seems with 4 year old boys, all you have to say is poop or poopyface or stinky feet etc… to get them to be laughing hysterically.

And they seem to call each other these names as well. It appears to be okay with all of the boys.  The girls are left out of this boy talk, thank goodness.  Its like they are constantly trying to one up each other with how many times they can sneak a potty word into their name calling.  The more the better.

“Hey, its stinky foot poopy face”.  It appears to be okay to address each other this way.  I say its ok because both parties are always laughing hysterically when they call each other these names.

I just went into the kitchen to give them dessert, and they were creating a new song that goes something like this, “Stinkbutt, stinkbutt, what do you see….I see a poopyface looking at me.  Poopyface poopyface, what do you see?  I see a stinkbutt cake looking at me.”  I gave them each a slice of cake, hence the stinkbutt cake reference. 🙂

They then went on to say that “doo doo” is not a funny word.  Then they were imagining what it would be like if they met someone named Stinkbutt.  This was seriously how the conversation went for the next 10 minutes.  No joke.

Will it ever end??

I guess this is just where we’re at right now.

Can anyone relate?  Or am I just living on Stinkbutt island all by myself?  🙂

    I had to laugh so hard at your post!! I don’t have boys, but I do have 2 girls who for some reason enjoyed using the poop word as many times as they could in one conversation when they were about the same age. I am not sure why – they just seemed to start wanting to say it one day and this went on for weeks!! Even if I would try telling them that maybe it might not be appropriate to use it – they still thought it was the funniest word ever!

    It does get better….

      Sons are wonderful! They are the best cuddlers in the world. 🙂 The potty talk is just a silly stage. How exciting, you’re having a boy. You’ll love the experience. They make you smile every day. 🙂
