Ok, so after some thought over which blog to post this on (this one, Reynolds family or mine) Frank4president won out on account of #1, the caliber of people who read and contribute to this blog of course and #2 - any ounce of squeamishness you once posessed has been smudged out of you by either attending thousands of hours of med school classes or being subjected to your spouse's med school study material. And really, let's be honest here - just by being friends with Brandon and I - that would desensitized the most Squeamish of all Squeamyishnesses. Which is also why I posted the picture of the face lift aftermath on this blog as well. You guys are the only ones who could handle it. ANYWHO. I swear I'm getting to my point (you know you all miss me, admit it.) The following transcript was taken from our bathroom two evenings ago:
Ruby: (on toilet and crying) Waaaah!
Me: (concerned mother calling out to her dear daughter from another room) Ruby, quit crying and finish up! We have to leave!
Ruby: (still on toilet and continues to cry) Waaaah!
Me: (comes in from the other room, sweetly smiling and as always, is as patient as can be) Hey, what's the deal? What are you crying about?
Ruby: (still on toilet and still crying) Waaaah! I can't push out my poo-pee! It won't come out! Waaaah!
(So we sit awhile, I have her drink some warm water and finally, she goes)
Ruby: (ever so excited) Mom! I think I just pooped out a BONE!
It took everything in me to not call Brandon at work and let him know our daughter "just pooped out a bone."

That's the artist in her! You should be proud of her good eye.
I once told my mom I pooped out a seashell. I really thought it was something special, but my mom made me flush it away without even taking a look.
If I can remember this incident, I must have been HOW old when it happened?
Nothing juicy was deleted in the above comment - just extremely bad grammar.
Alisa, I think Ruby's comparison to a "bone" was more related to the "feel" of it than the "look" of it...too much information? NEVER!
Also, it sounds like you're at high risk for pica. You should talk to your OB if you have any sudden cravings for seashells.
