If you have kids, you are all too familiar with The Stealth Poop. It's one of those things you really never forget about, even long after your kids are potty trained. It may not be a prominent memory, but spend some time around a baby and the memories will come flooding back.
Confused? Not sure what the hell I'm talking about? Well, let me enlighten you on the subject matter for a few minutes.
It's usually pretty easy to tell when your little one is pooping or has already done so. If the grunts and red faces aren't a big enough hint, the smell sure will be. These are the clues we parents use to tell us when it's time for a diaper change.
Ever so often, however, The Stealth Poop will rear it's ugly head. It's one of parentings greatest mysteries and a messy one at that. These are those occasional kiddy bowel movements that leave us baffled and asking "When?".
You see, it always starts out the same way, with a cranky baby you just can't console. They aren't hungry or tired but they keep on squirming, crying and whining. Eventually, after rocking and trying everything you can think of, you decide to start going through your mental checklist. Hungry? No. Cold/Hot? No. Fever? No. Diaper? What the hell!
Right there when you open the diaper will be the reason none of your efforts have worked, but you had no idea it was even there or how long it has been. There were no grunts, no red face and definitely no smell (until you open the diaper that is).
That, ladies and gentlemen, is The Stealth Poop.
