Poop Defies Gravity

So does pee, if you want to get technical, but not nearly to the extent that poop does.  We've learned both of these facts the hard way.

Now, I don't know about you, but I was taught that gravity pulls objects toward the Earth.  At least on our planet it does.  That is, unless your object happens to be poop or pee from your new baby girl.

Our sweet Kate had a massive poop out while I was burping her.  And when I say "massive" I mean there was maybe a dot of poo in her diaper.  The rest was entirely up her back, covering her clothes, and on me.  And I still have not figured out how it was possible.  My only conclusion thus far is my belief that Sir Newton may not have considered poo when he developed the Law of Universal Gravitation because if he did he would certainly have expected said poo to travel down, not up and out.

And speaking of gravity, while I was changing Kate's diaper the cool, fresh air must've signaled "go time" because our darling girl decided it was time to go to the bathroom.  (Number one, that is.)  Except going to the bathroom did not entail peeing into her open diaper.  No.  It was analogous to a geyser.  Her pee shot straight up in the air, covering her, her diaper, the changing pad cover, the changing pad, and the wall.  It all happened so fast!  (By the way, Brian, we need to wash the pee off of the wall behind the dresser...)  I was fortunately spared this time.  But, once again, I was left baffled at the force behind such excretion.

Poop [and pee] defy gravity.  I have witnessed it first hand.  I have warned Brian about this and I have seriously considered writing to the accredited scientific society that would overturn or at least make an exception to Mr. Isaac's studies.

I suppose I will hold off on my letter until I have photographic or video evidence, but at that point I don't think anyone will want to see/watch my scientific evidence anyway, so let this be a lesson learned - don't let gravity fool you.  There are some exceptions to the law.
