Locale: Brown Room
One afternoon our speech/language pathologist (SLP) was conducting language testing on this gorgeous little girl who would soon be old enough to transfer to our program, should she qualify. The SLP, mother and little girl were sitting around the small, child-sized, rectangle table in our brown room (the brown room houses the SLP and two of us SpEd Teachers). Most of the furniture in our school is "child-sized," which means that we adults are typically not at our most comfortable state while sitting around the tables and in the teeny-tiny, "one-cheek-sized" little-people chairs.
Testing around the miniature table seemed to be going fairly well, though the SLP had to work a bit harder than usual to keep refocusing our Little Miss on the testing questions at hand. This little gal was clearly quite the little princess in her world . . . you know the type . . . the adorable little girl that smiles and flutters her lashes and the world completely stops spinning, as all in it agree to adhere to her every desire . . . simply because they are SOOOO dang cute!!!
About half way through testing, our little princess just suddenly stopped in the middle of a test item, turned to look into her mother's face, and without saying a word, bent over, stuck her nose in-between her mother's legs and sniffed very deeply for several seconds. Of course, we were all dumbfounded and shocked. What do you say in a situation like that? Then, just as suddenly as she had bent over to sniff, our little gal suddenly sat back up, looked her mother square in the face and said, "You Poopy?"
After another second or two of silence, no one could contain the laughter any longer. We ALL (even "Mom," in all of her red-faced humiliation) burst out laughing and it was a good five minutes before testing could be resumed.
Needless to say, the giggles continued all afternoon.
