Conversation Skills: Officially Down the Crapper

Published on

ME:  How was your day?

MR. CANDY:  Good!  The client liked our proposal —

ME:  Skylar’s poop turned green today.

MR. CANDY:  Green?

ME:  Bright.

MR. CANDY:  Oh.  Well, ANYWAY, I may have to go to Brazil for some focus groups —

ME:  But then it went back to seedy yellow.

MR. CANDY:  … São Paulo, probably — er, excuse me?

ME:  The poop.  It’s yellow again.

MR. CANDY:  That’s great!  Just… great.

ME:  I’m sorry, you were saying…?

MR. CANDY:  Focus groups in São Paulo next month —

ME:  Apparently, it means she’s getting too much of the foremilk.

MR. CANDY:  …for just a couple days.  [PAUSE]  What?

ME:  The green poop.   Means I need to keep her on one boob longer so she gets the cheesecake-y hindmilk, too.

MR. CANDY:  [LONG PAUSE]  Cheesecake-y?

ME:  Yes.  Like cheesecake.

MR. CANDY:  I have no idea what you’re talking about.

ME:  That makes two of us.
