poopies

today at the library i had a mom at checkout with a five year old girl in tow and a two or three year old boy in her left arm, dangling like a side of beef. the boy was grunting and scrunching up his face which was turning red. it was clear that he was taking a dump right then and there, hopefully, in a diaper.
the mom asks the kid, "do you have to go poopies?"
"grrrrr...aaaaaa....grrrrrr...ooomph", grunts the little boy.
and then the smell hits me. a huge cloud of shitstink wafts over the circ desk. and the mom asks again, "Bradley, do you have to go poopies?"
MOM! darling Bradley has already done poopies. right in front of me, like an animal. can't you smell it? it smells like the freakin' elephant house at Roger Williams Zoo! damn, mom, get with it!
