A Brief Exchange

Sunday, I was sitting at my home desk doing some urgent work-related stuff on the puter.  My wife was in the shower washing off everything that I find sexy about her on these hot, sticky, Summer days, so, the little one and I were alone in the living room.  She watching TV; me typing away. 

"Poo poo, Daddy", she says from across the room.

"I know, baby.  I'll be there in a second to get you a freshy, OK?", I replied.

Long pause...

"Poo poo, Daddy", she says.  This time with a little more whine.

"I knooooow, honey.  I just need to finish this and I'll change your diaper", I replied with my eyes still glued to my monitor.

A minute or so passes and I hear her walking up to my desk.

"There you go, Daddy", she says cheerfully, as she places some weird, kidney bean-sized something-or-other on the top of my desk and flashes a great big smile. 

"Where'd you get that, Lu?", I ask, thinking it's some dried up piece of fruit or something she dug out of the couch cushions.

"Poo poo, Daddy", she says as she points to her diaperless butt and skips back over to her place on the couch - problem solved.
