Precious Moments

Sometimes when I’m with my children, I just can’t believe how lucky I am. I look around the room, or as is the case yesterday, the car via the rearview mirror, and I’m almost unable to breath, I feel so lucky. We were busy running to and fro and to and fro and fro again getting all the kids signed up at their respective schools, changing schedules, picking up books and doing all other manner of getting ready for school activities. There were peals of laughter, good-natured ribbing and their beautiful voices combining in song:

When you’ve got no place to go
And you feel it in your toes
Diarrhea
Diarrhea

When you’re wearing a white dress
And you feel a lumpy mess
Diarrhea
Diarrhea

When you’re standing in the trees
And you smell a stinky breeze
Diarrhea
Diarrhea

When you’re right next to a pole
And it’s coming out your hole
Diarrhea
Diarrhea

When you’re squatting in the hut
And it’s coming out your butt
Diarrhea
Diarrhea

  1. ah… we know that one well…

    When you’re driving down the road,
    and you feel a heavy load
    Diarrhea
    Diarrhea

    When you do a little dance,
    now there’s something in your pants
    Diarrhea
    Diarrhea

  2. Heeheee…I think you should seriously consider making one of those sing-along CDs for kids (and parents) for those long trips in the car.

  3. When you’re walking in the gutter
    And your pants are full of butter
    Diarrhea
    Diarrhea

    When you’re sleepin’ like a baby
    And your pants are making gravy
    Diarrhea
    Diarrhea

    Some people think it’s gross
    But it’s really good on toast
    Diarrhea
    Diarrhea

    Ahhh.. thanks.

  4. The one I knew was a baseball theme:

    When you’re slidin’ into first and you’re feelin’ somethin’ burst
    Diarrhea
    Diarrhea
    When you’re slidin’ into third and you lay a juicy turd
    Diarrhea
    Diarrhea
    When you’re sliding’ into home and your pants are full of foam
    Diarrhea
    Diarrhea

    So glad we could all share this moment.

  5. In Venezuela last summer, while swimming in the ocean, my boyfriend and I came up with:

    When you’re eatin’ some tostones
    And you soil your pantalones
    Diarrhea
    Diarrhea

    We laaaaaughed and improvised other Spanish-laced verses, bobbing around in the water, drinking cheap beer, thinking about how brilliant we were. And then a nearby yacht emptied its toilet into the ocean…and actual diarrhea floated past our heads. We screamed for our lives and ran to shore.

  6. Don’t have this in the UK…well I haven’t heard it before. Please could you record the song? I love the words but I have no idea how it goes. I want to teach it to my 1 year old nephew. Pretty Please?

  7. My family is the SAME WAY. Except we do the baseball version mentioned above. However, we also explore the many version of “Beans, Beans, the musical fruit…”

    And I, too, fell amazingly lucky with my poop troop.

  8. Ah. Moments that I know I will be living for.

    Right now, however, it’s the real thing (beware the prune-scarfing baby) that we’re living with, and it’s not so precious…

  9. Hehehe excellent post! Here’s some from my family’s library:

    Diarrhea (cha-cha-cha)
    Diarrhea (cha-cha-cha)
    It’s the only kind of poopy
    That smells gross and comes out soupy

    Diarrhea (cha-cha-cha)
    Diarrhea (cha-cha-cha)
    When you think that it’s just gas,
    But it squirts right out your ass

    Diarrhea (cha-cha-cha)
    Diarrhea (cha-cha-cha)
    Running naked down the hall,
    And you squirt some on the wall!

  10. I can not believe I’m delurking to say this …
    Might I direct your attention (particularly Begumby’s) to youtube.com and a search for “David Chappelle + diarrhea”.
    A nice little musical number ….
    (Okay, I’m going to go back to lurking now.)

  11. ohmigod.
    thank you for the laugh.
    my 9 1/2 year old usually sing that song in the car amidst his intense giggliing. Amazing how fart songs amuse 9 1/2 year old boys, eh?

  12. I laughed so hard… I had tears running down my face. I had to shut the windows in the office because the neighbors were outside. Way, way too funny!
