Kelly gave Alex The Big Book of Gross Stuff, by Bart King, for his birthday. It has become a bible of sorts. He is constantly quoting parts of the book to us:"Did you know that if you eat fatty foods, your poop floats?"
"Did you know some woman drank her own puss?"
"Did you know that Vikings used pee to clean sheep's wool?"
And on and on and on...
Without fail, we are almost always eating when he decides it is time to discuss this book. It is fairly standard for us to tell Alex that there is to be no discussion of the gross stuff book at the dinner table. This obsession is going on for over 2 months now and even though he has read it from cover to cover, he still carries it around, giggling while he flips through over and over again.
So thank you Kelly. And Mr. King too, I suppose. You've thoroughly entertained the boy and grossed us out at the same time.

Hello,
Through the magic of Google Alerts, I get to thank Kelly as well!
And I'm really gratified to know that Alex is enjoying GROSS STUFF. I'm actually pretty squeamish, so it's good to know that all that revolting research was for a good cause. :)
All the best,
Bart King
My son would love that book too!
