What’s With The Corn, Anyway?

Kids ask questions and I always try to answer them honestly. Some questions kids ask are funny to adults like when my then 5 year old asked, while looking at the ocean for the first time, “So, who fills that thing up every summer?” Other questions are poignant like, “Will Eliza (the hamster) go to heaven to be with great gramma now?”

One topic of questions, though, always stump me. No, not sex questions. I can handle those. The toughest questions I’ve gotten from my sons have all been about poop. Yes, I know, that’s not something you came here to read about today. But there you have it, the most fascinating topic for little boys is also the one I’m least qualified to discuss.

Since my oldest son is almost 29, I have quite a few questions floating around in my brain, waiting for answers. That’s part of the reason I love SmellyPoop.com so much. It answers all those questions that my kids have been asking me for years. And frankly, I’ve wondered about some of them myself but wouldn’t have dared to ask, lest I be stripped of my Girly Girl status. The closest I’ve ever come to such a topic was researching various colon cleanse products during my first 4 day fast.

Naturally, the highlight of the site (and the reason I consider it educational) is the FAQ on Poop as well as one on Farts. Just skim through the questions and I’ll bet you stop to read at least a few of the answers. Questions about various colors, the mysterious corn situation, and why on earth do dogs eat it are all included. Seriously, don’t tell me you never wondered!

There’s lots more to see at SmellyPoop.com, like the 100% free Greeting Cards featuring drawn pictures, photos and user submitted pics. There’s a forum, too, and even a place to buy poopy stuff. I really want the 2008 butt crack Calander.

You don’t have to tell me that you looked over the site. I know if you read this you won’t be able to resist. You’re dying to know the answers to those questions I listed, aren’t you? Yeah, I thought so.
