Smell My Butt

“Get away from me! You stink,” the eleven-year-old boy yells at his three-year-old brother.

“Smell my butt. Smell my butt. Smell my butt,” the three-year-old screams while chasing his big brother.

“Mom, change him!” demands the older boy, who is now considered by the school district to be gifted and talented but did not use the toilet successfully until he was four years and three months old.

“Are you poopy?” the mother asks the younger boy.

“Yes.”

“Are you going to use the potty today?”

“No.”

“Big boys use the potty. Are you going to use the potty?”

“Let me think about it,”

Silence.

“Still no.”

“Well, we are going to try today and you can get a treat for just trying.”

“Don’t care.”

“We’ll see about that. You’re all clean. Go play.”

“Now do you want to smell my butt?”
