i hear banging on my door at like 8:55 this morning, about 5 minutes after i put zooey to bed. i'm rinsing out poop from keaton's diaper in the toilet... i open the door, it's a cop. "we got a report of a baby screaming. are there any babies here?"
"yeah, i have two - and yeah, like 30 minutes ago keaton - oh here he is - was screaming because he didn't want me to change his poopy diaper. so, i just let him cry it out a little then he let me change him..."
"ok, so everybody is ok?"
"yeah, thanks for checking..."
"good luck. obey your mom."
what the freak... i feel like my motherhood has been challenged or something. like the guy was really nice about it. i think he just had to come because someone had said something, and he seemed to know that kids scream and cry sometimes, but it really unnerved me... i kinda just want to give keaton and zooey tranquilizers until they hit 8 or 9 and go from there. i don't know... i'll simmer down in a little while. what was i supposed to do let the poop bake on his butt then give him a horrible rash? he's freaking two years old, he can't decide if he wants to leave crap on his butt or not. ugh! oh well, in a couple of days or weeks or months or years, i'm sure i'll love telling the story and laughing about it. thing is, he reminds me of me...

Oh my word. If I had a nickel for every time my 2 year old screams, I'd be living in Westlake. Too funny!
for real! i didn't think it was too funny at the time - pretty much there now. about an hour and a half after the cop left, keaton got his bike stuck and started screaming like someone was sawing his leg off - i about flew through the roof trying to get in there and knock him out so he couldn't scream anymore.
haha, i'm posting as scott again... it's really kelly :)
An easy mistake since you guys look like the type of people who beat their kids:) We had someone call the cops on us one time because our puppy didn't like being in his kennel and barked all day. The guy lived 3 houses down and around the corner. Give me a break.
yep
Do you have the poop-sprayer thing that hooks to the toilet?
