So my sister called me yesterday at 7:00 in the morning. I'm not awake at that time so I pushed silence and went back to sleep. Later I text her to find out what was so important. She called me and told me that my niece Roo had been complaining about her side hurting so she wanted to know if it was a stupid idea to take her into the doctor. (Side note my mother is on a cruise with her sisters so I am now the surrogate mother till she gets back....so far I'm doing a horrible job!) Any way she told me she had taken her into now care and they had her go up and get an ultra sound on her stomach to find out if she had appendicitis. I told her to keep me in contact and let me know what they find out.....Then I sent her a text to kind of ease her mind. The text went like this.....What if you find out that its just a big turd that she needs to let loose? Which she responds to....Hahahah your mean. Then I get a call and she tells me that one of the nurses came in and asked her when the last time Roo had had a bowl movement was. Which I laugh out loud and said "SEE I told you!!! I was right!" Then the nurse came in and she had to go....Later I get a call from her and this is how it went.......I answer the phone and hear................"Well that was a 500 dollar turd!" I guess on the ultra sound they couldn't see anything because her bowels were so full. And they did a test on her white blood count and that was fine. She then told me that she felt really embarrassed that she had gone up there for a turd. To which I told her that there are A LOT of people that have gone in for things that they thought were important only to find out that it was gas or something small like that......and that it was a good thing she went in
because what if it was something blah blah blah.....you know the big sister talk you give to reassure them. I then asked her if she wanted to go to lunch. (after the day she had I figured lunch would be nice) So we met at a Chinese restaurant and she had Roo and Graydon my other sisters kid. Well while we were sitting at lunch Roo asked what is that yellow stuff in the bowl....To which I replied its mustard.....(then here comes the oldest teasing that never really goes away) I looked at Roo and said "Kinda like what you need to do MUST TURD" She didn't think it was as funny as her mother and I.

Of course it was a turd! That is my go to solution when my kids complain of a stomach ache. "Go try and poo." Or "Have you gone poo lately?" Funny. And I love the MUST TURD part!
