Back in grade school, we used the expression "eat shyt and die'. The other day my lil girl and I heard a teenager say to another 'eat shyt and die!'. Reminded me of my youth (sniff sniff).
My lil girl asked me 'Dad, what would happen if you eat poop? Would you die? Why would someone eat poop? I know sometimes dogs eat poop and they don't die. What would ever make someone eat poop?"
Eating poop is a pretty darn vile thing to do, most likely about the worst thing you can ingest - right up there with human flesh. Well I told her the chances of dying might be slim, you prolly would get pretty sick then she asked "Would you eat poop if someone was going to kill you if you didn't? What if they were gonna kill me or Mommy if you didn't? Would you eat poop then?"
"Good Lord girl! What makes you think of such things!" We laughed.
Truth be known is I guess I would eat it if my life or theirs depended upon it and short of that, not a chance.
These are the questions that plague a mans soul...to eat poop or not...
