If you have any experience with Celestial Seasonings' "True Blueberry" tea, I'd be interesting in hearing about it. I specifically wonder if, like you, you think that it smells exactly like fresh hot diaper gravy when brewed. I am not merely saying "it smells bad", I am saying "it smells exactly like something recently ejected from a healthy human baby".

The Andys have been guzzling the stuff and think it is great and honestly don't know what I'm on about when I choke and gasp and reel about whenever they make a pot. I find this fascinating, and wonder if I possess a magical poo-smell gene or something, and how alone I am in my condition.



Speaking of poop, Gene Weingarten's lunchtime chat this afternoon featured a challenge to his readers to write verse featuring a rhyme that included "diarrhea". This one was by Gene himself:

A certain type of poultry sickens,
So stay away from ducks and chickens.
They can carry avian flu
Which makes you poo and poo and poo.
So buy some ostrich, buy a rhea
And thus avoid dread diarrhea.

You have to get the sweet and sour soup at the inexplicably-named Yum-Yum Restaurant in Dorchester. Totally diaper smelling!

Actually I may have that same gene because I've run into that smell more than once in my life, but it's always been soup

And ... did you know? Baby poo doesn't smell until after they start eating regular food.

well, it has a smell, but its a mild and not-completely-gross smell. But yeah, henry has just started taking to solids whole hog, and there has been a definite swing in "pants smell"... not for the better.

You know what? Poo is hilarious. And so, consequently, was that post. Thanks. :)

I've got some Bigelow "Blueberry Harvest" tea. You should come over for dinner some night and we can see what you think of this for comparison.

She said, "See ya"
at the galleria
when I got diarrhea.
O mamma mia!
