Poop adventure, Number 2

We've had a couple poop adventures that rivaled the misery of the McDonald's incident. The first is a tale of a visit to Carter's to shop for some clothes and then a trip to Gymboree for some bopping and hopping.

Finn had been acting a little shy all morning. I attributed it to shopping for clothes, which can drive any guy into his shell. Hoping to soothe his down spirits we moved into the line to check out of the store.

Apparently irritated that we didn't shove the lady ahead of us out of the way and check ourselves out, the lady behind us in line stood right on top of Finn and me, literally.

I heard a strange noise and looked down at Finn. He was in turn staring at a little puddle on the floor. I thought he had thrown up and began to get out the wipes to clean up. Then I noticed the horrible sight; it wasn't vomit.

I grabbed Finn and ran outside to clean him up. Of course we didn't have an extra set of clothes, but being at Carter's, we bought a new emergency set for him. His shoes, socks, pants, and undershirt were all ruined.

As I went back in with a naked baby to get the new clothes, I saw a peculiar sight. Sarah was hunched down over the woman's shoes who was behind us in line. She had been so close to us that Finn's poo ended up on the toe of her shoe. So in addition to cleaning the floor, Sarah had to wipe off a stranger's shoe.

Of course there was too much commotion to take a picture of the actual event, so I made this rendering of the incident.



Please keep this in mind next time you crowd someone or stand in their personal space. Karma has a way of balancing out these trespasses. People can do anything in their space and respecting it is good for both you and them.
