You would think that as a teacher and someone with a Master’s degree, poop humor wouldn’t get me. But alas, if I didn’t laugh about this shit I would have quit my job by now.

A good friend, and fellow teacher was once asked by her husband “is this a regular part of your job??”. The answer is yes and no.

One incident in particular that holds fame in our preschool hallway is the “mystery pooper”. Three days in a row, either we found a monumental turd on the floor of the boy’s bathroom or our child care teachers found one.

Children never go to the restroom on their own, we either stand by our doors and wait for them or stand in the bathroom if they need help. By day three we were super vigilant, but it would somehow magically appear sometime after 2:25 but before 3pm.

Although I have my suspicions of who it is, I was never able to attain concrete evidence. Hopefully they aren’t terrorizing their elementary bathrooms or licking urinal mats like other children of my past.

Mystery (classroom) pooper will be posted another time…
