An Important Lesson...

Again, we were all enjoying the beautiful weather over the weekend at our friends' house. They have a tremendous yard for kids to go crazy in. (oooh- I just ended a sentence in a preposition) After a bit, the pack of kids asked us to come up with a scavenger hunt list. The adults started coming up with fairly traditional tidbits: a yellow flower, a white flower, a stick, a pine needle. Then we started getting a little wacky: six bottle caps, an animal bone, etc. After a bit of discussion, we added poop. In our heads, we were imagining kids howling with laughter and disgust at this absurd suggestion. It was, of course, the adults howling with laughter and disgust when the kids brought back a piece of poop in the basket. We must remember that with kids you frequently get what you ask for.
