For All The Boy Moms

This is definitely one for the mama's of boys. It is the job of my oldest son to pick up dog poop. He puts it in a plastic grocery bag and takes it out to the dumpster - or so I thought. One day he was taking a long time walking to the dumpster and I said something along the lines of "get moving and take that to the dumpster." I almost fell over when he replied "I threw it on the roof." Wha.....?you threw it on........?JORDAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What the heck are you thinking? I immediately went into maniac lecture mode. Well, the recent Santa Ana winds blew quite hard in area. The night after the worst winds I walked my youngest out near the garages for our morning carpool, as I walked I noticed SEVERAL grocery bags and a bathroom trash bag that looked a lot like the ones we use. I was greeted by a neighbor saying "Disgusting, these bags are all full of dog poop. Someone thew them on the garage roof and they blew down!!" I quickly responded "I could guarantee they came from my house. JORDAN!!!!!!!!!! Come out here. Do you regularly throw the bags of dog poop on the roof??" I received a blank stare. I repeated "would it be safe to say these belong to us???" This time he responded with the word "Yes." All I could do was make him come pick them up and take them to the dumpster. There is currently one bag on the edge that refuses to fall. I never thought I would actually have to verbalize that we DO NOT throw trash, particularly dog poop, ANYWHERE but in the trash!!!
So tonight I put the bag in the big trash bag and he took it out. When he came in my husband said "did you throw it in the trash instead of the roof this time?" His reply: "YES! That bag was way too big to throw on the roof."
