Phollower and I were camping this weekend. We had a great time, and I had the opportunity to hear some funny things from kids. I love the crazy stuff they say.
I was walking past one of the campsites and heard the family sitting down to breakfast. They had just made some on the open stove. For those of you who do not camp, eggs made over an open flame often have kind of a brown cooked part on the edges, not quite burned, but you get the idea. One of the kids being served asked "Is there mud on them?" His grandfather explained they were "camp eggs." Good to have a fancy name, rather than "Nope they're just kind of burned."
By far the funniest thing I heard, happened on the way to the bathroom. The campsite had pit toilets. Again, for the non-camper, these are non-flush toilets over pits dug in the earth, like an outhouse with several toilets all feeding into one pit. It is not a gross as it seems. Point being, the toilets hover over deepish pits which you can see into when you look through the toilet seat (which I try to do as little as possible). A little boy was coming out of the women's bathroom with his mom. He looked right at me and said, proudly, "I just went poop." I said "That's very good." Then he told me, "It went really far down." I told him "I am glad to hear that." And, to be honest, I was glad to hear the poop was gone from the bathroom.

Ahhh, that lovely stage where they announce to the world that the "putted their poop in the potty".
Actually, you have to be rather impressed with the kid. Can you imagine how scary it would be as a child to sit on that big black hole! Hell, I'm almost 40 and those things creep me out.
Tysgirl: I was impressed with him. I know kids his age who are afraid of the regular flush toilet!
