The Time My Child Pooped Under My Desk

Said child will remain unnamed to avoid ultimate humiliation for the rest of their life. But before you get super grossed out, just know they had a diaper on. So it’s not like I had to burn the carpet, or anything.

I have a child who liked…. privacy… when going to the bathroom in their diaper. I can’t blame them; who doesn’t?

There was a time where I often had to pick up my child from daycare and then take them back to work with me, because I had a few more emails and work to complete. My child was an angel who everyone liked to see, so it was no problem to bring them to work. I would let them toddle around while I was at my computer. And for some reason, almost without fail, that child would eventually take a big crap under my desk. Sometimes I would hear the grunting first, sometimes I would smell it first, depending on how far away I was. What is the speed of smell? I might need to google that.

Anyway, that was a humorous stage of our child’s life that I still chuckle about from time to time. I like to think it was my child telling me not to take work so seriously. I wish I had gotten that message sooner.
