I can't see a post just a title?

If or when I have children, I plan to come back and re-read every last post of yours for parenting tips. :)

My coworkers never know what to think when I spray Dr. Pepper out of my nose and laugh hysterically at the computer. Thank you for a much-needed giggle!

BTW- my mom used similar tactics on me. She got me to eat Eggplant Parmesan by telling me it was mini-pizza. I was also gullible enough to believe that Santa Claus & the Easter Bunny wouldn't bring goodies to little girls with messy rooms, so that's the card she'd play to get me to clean my room at least twice a year.

Just have her swallow a wad of Double Bubble gum and your problem is solved. We can't get my oldest (same age as Gabby) to stop swallowing the gum, and I've had to change my share of "pink" diapers. You haven't lived until you've smelled Double Bubble poop. Be forewarned, though, it's very confusing to the senses.

LOL - Wish I'd thought of that when my kid was young enough to go for it. Now, I think she would just be alarmed.

pink poop=genius! I will have to tell my toddler this. It will so work.

I might just have to try that with everything.

If your daughter is obsessed with pink the way that mine is, it will work with everything!

BHAHAHA that was the funniest thing i have ever read! you're a genius Y!

How ingenius you are.
Best wishes

You are WAY sneakier than I am.

I offer my children money to eat their veggies.

What?

Oh yeah, I subscribe to the 'whatever works' style of parenting as well.
Hilarious!

dude. pink poop would rock.

Time to get out the food coloring!

That is brilliant... except, as you said - HOW to get the poop pink??

Mm, olives. I love 'em. I was just at the grocery today and was looking at salsa and they had green olive and cilantro salsa. Ohmigod, it sounded good, but I chickened out at the last second. I'm regretting not getting that now.

My mom did kinda the same thing to me with purple popsicles. I hated them until she told me that they were her favorite and she was not gonna let me eat them - they were HERS.

My favorites now are the purple ones.
Not sure if the pink poop would have swayed me, but you know, maybe it would have.

This might sound crazy but I think there is a website that actually helps you find what to eat to make your poo change specific colors. I will totally post the address if I can find it. The stange things people start websites about...

Give her some beets - it'll be a very dark pink. Honest.

The sad part is that the whole time I'm reading this I was getting excited about trying my own poop pink. I hate olives but was willing to try them again just for the poop. Thanks for nuthin!!!

But my pee does smell like sour kraut right now.

must try the poop turns pink trick...

Pssssssssssst... slip some red dye in something she eats or drinks, fast. ;-)

And, all hope is not lost, because you can DEFINITELY use this trick to get her to eat beets. They turn pee and poo reddish/purplish.

Lots of vitamin C will give her dayglo yellow pee.

AND

You can tell her that asparagus makes your pee smell funny... but I'm not sure she'll go for that.

Ok, that's all my pee colors and smells knowledge.

HAHAHAHAHA
I am LOL!!!!
Priceless!
Slip some red food coloring to some juice to make her poop pink!

Check out my blog - we are FASTING for Julian...spread the word!!!

haha that is funny. I wish the boy would fall for this stuff.

That was great way of " whatever works" I bet it will work... thank you...

We should be a role model to our child. If we eat fried chicken, our toddler asks the same. We eat healthy foods and some time or the other, our toddler also demands the same food. Sometimes it works.. :)

You're a riot!

Just tell her she didn't eat enough. And keep telling her that until she gets old enough to catch on... or until she starts telling her teachers and friends that olives turn your poop pink and the school nurse shows up one morning with child services in tow.

That is fantastic!
Now I can tell my children that I'm not the only mother that is going to be paying for a whole lot of counseling in the years to come.

Muwahahaha, LOVE IT!

Funny!

Tell her she just has to eat more, more often, to be blessed with the pink poop.

Dude. You must slip her some beets. Pink poo guaranteed.

Also pink pee.

Win.

TOTALLY trying this one.

Oh. My. God. heh heh heh.

Pink poop! Awesome! Now I want some olives...

Genius. Pure unadulterated genius. I iwsh I had been so creative when my boys were small. Hope your day is going well!

Pink poop! I think I love you.

Maybe when you get the: COME WIPE ME!!!!

You can wipe, flush and then say: OMG. It was PINK!! Pink as cotton candy!!!! As it zips down the pipe.

Heh. Pick your battles. Now she might not believe you when you tell her how awesome it is to see corn in your poop the next day. There's no way you can shove some beets in her face.

I'm back. Thought you might want to look at this:

OMG, my stomach hurts from laughing! Brilliant~

You could always act like Jessica Seinfeld and make a Pink Crayon Puree and hide it in her brownies.

lol, you could always drop a bath fizz in the toilet LMAO, it will make everything pink! Im just sayin lol

That is awesome.

I tell my son if he eats whatever I want him to eat at the time it will turn him into a Jedi, and he eats it.

Kids obsessions are great.

Food dye in the sippy cup. Voila! Pink poop.

As I read this I was planning on heading straight home to eat a jar of olives. I hate olives but I completely also believed your story.
