I believe this is the 7th episode (5 in season 1, 2 in season 2 thus far) of Conversations with a 2/3 year old and poop has been the main topic of conversation 3 times already. Since I know you're not a math major, I'll be kind enough to let you know that that's a 43% ratio of poop to non-poop topics between you and holyBoy. I'll be the first to acknowledge the importance of poop, especially in a young child's life... but 43% of the time? That seems kinda high, even for a boy. Just sayin'... try talking to him about other stuff too... like pee.

That particular scene in Empire is one of his favorites, actually, so I think it was on his mind anyway. And the asteroid monster in Empire does look like a giant turd with teeth, so you can see how the connection could be made, even by a 3-year-old. I am one proud papa.

I gotta call bullshit on him making the reference to the giant snake that ate the Millennium Falcon. I don't doubt holySmith the Boy's intellectual capacity for one single second - as he is a bright young lad - but the analogy is just too perfectly woven into the conversation to not have been at least partially fabricated. I mean... it reeks of your impressive analogical abilities. In any case, pass on my congrats to the Boy for conquering his toilet demons. And welcome to the I-no-longer-have-to-wipe-my-child's-ass club. Dude… I gotta call bullshit on him making the reference to the giant snake that ate the Millennium Falcon.
