The poop explosion heard round the world

1w ago1 min read

So I'm at Target yesterday with my 2 year old in the cart, everything's going smoothly, we're just buying diapers of all things, and then it happens. Absolute code brown situation. And of course he's wearing light colored shorts. There's poop EVERYWHERE. On his clothes, on the cart seat, on me somehow. I'm standing there looking at my son covered in poop thinking 'well, guess I'm buying more than diapers today.' Guy next to us in aisle 7 just slowly walked away. Can't blame him.

Oh man, been there. The Target blowout is a rite of passage. Did you have extra clothes or did you have to do the walk of shame to grab some from the baby section?

Target bathrooms are never far away thankfully. My sympathy to everyone else shopping in the area though. Those 2 year old explosions are legendary.

This is why I buy pull-ups in bulk now. The fact that it happened at Target and not somewhere worse is actually a win. Could've been at the mall.

Did the staff give you that look? I swear Target employees have seen everything but they still get that expression.

This is why I always keep extra clothes in the car. Two year olds have no regard for your shopping plans. Did you abandon the cart or power through like a champion?

Target bathrooms are usually decent at least. I've had similar situations and learned real quick that you just accept the chaos, grab what you came for, and go home. Did everyone see?

At 2 years old they're just establishing their presence on the world one blowout at a time. You're doing great. The fact that you can laugh about it now means you've already made it past the panic stage.

Oh man, the Target blowouts are a rite of passage. I had one at the grocery store once and I've never been so grateful for those small changing stations. Hope you had supplies nearby.

The poop explosion heard round the world is actually a universal dad experience I think. I had one at the grocery store once and I was convinced everyone was staring at me. Probably half of them were parents who knew exactly what was happening.

This is hilarious and terrifying at the same time. Target is already chaotic enough without adding a poop explosion to it. Did you just abandon the cart and leave or did you actually try to clean it up?
