The most embarassing conversation ever preserved for posterity

A little dialogue between Anne and me:

Anne: Mom, I need to go poop.
Me: Okay, let's go upstairs.
A: Are you gonna listen to me poop?
M: Uh, sure.

(In the bathroom)
A: Are you gonna listen to me poop?
M: Yes. I'm listening.
A: Okay...here it comes! (pause) Did you hear it?
M: Yes, I heard it.
A: There's more!
M: Great.

Please, dear child, spare me from the graphic play-by-play of your toilet habits! Perhaps we need to introduce the concept of "privacy". Or at least the idea of using the bathroom ALONE.

Well, you do want her to be open and honest with you during the teen years, right? However, this is one conversation I won't copy/paste for her scrapbook!
