Disobedient Kids Can Leave You Pooped

(At our summer camp, we have a new shower house/bathroom building installed. With it came a septic system. The covers of the tanks are simply planks of wood. This causes some kids to walk over the short fence around the leech field, and bounce on the planks of wood. It is nearly lunch time, and I’m with some of my family and co-workers.)

1st kid: “Woo!” *starts bouncing on plank*

Mom: *shouting at 1st kid* “Hey! Get out of there!”

(The wood slides around, and his leg falls into the tank.)

1st kid: “Eww! What is that?”

Mom: “You see that building behind you?”

1st kid: “Yeah?”

Mom: “That’s the bathrooms”

1st kid: “Yuck! I just fell in poop?!?”

Mom: “Yep.”

1st kid: *running to clean himself off* “Eww!”

(A short while later, a 2nd kid starts bouncing on plank.)

Mom: *looks at 2nd kid* “Get off of that!”

(As she turns her head around, we all hear a splash.)

Mom: “Did he just…?”

Younger brother: “Yep.”

(With that, my 5’10 younger brother runs to the tanks, and pulls the kid out, with one hand.)

2nd kid: *visibly shocked* “What was that?”

Younger brother: *plainly* “That was poop. You need to take a shower”

2nd kid: “Okay…” *starts heading to campsite”

Mom: “No. You need to shower in your clothes, and then head to get new clothes, then shower again.”

2nd kid: “Okay…”

(After he gets in…)

Older brother: “I bet he’s going to have a crappy day.”

(We all look at each other, and laugh at the pun he accidentally made. We continue on with it.)

1st coworker: “A really crappy day.”

2nd coworker: “He’s going to be in deep doo-doo.”

Me: “Yep. Waste deep.”

Coworker: “No, he’s swimmin’ in da poo-l!”

(I am signaled that I am needed elsewhere.)

Me: “This is a crappy conversation; I’m leaving.”
