The other day, J and I were playing football in the back yard when we realized that it was time to pick up the dog poop. Our friend, Bryan, was over watching football with Mark. Bryan pulled 2 dollars out of his wallet and told J that if he picked up all of the poop, he could have the money.
Well, J thought that was a great deal, and ran off with a shovel and a bag to pick it all up. He was done in just a few minutes, so I went out with him to inspect. After finding 4 more piles and standing over J to make sure he did a good job, J wasn't so sure that just 2 bucks was enough. It was more work than he expected! At one point, he looked at the full bag and dirty shovel and said, "Mom, I sure wish poop smelled like rainbows!"
I asked him tonight about that comment...
Mom: "What do rainbows smell like?"
J: "I dunno."
Mom: "Then why did you say you wished poop smelled like rainbows?"
J: "Because it should smell like there is money at the end of it."
Mom: "You mean like how there's a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow?"
J: "Yep - like there's money for me at the end of the poop."
So now we know.
