Our sweet (and funny!) friends got Aaron this exploding reindeer poop for his birthday.
He LOVES it and has had so much fun sharing it with Ryker. Recently he and I went to Walmart to buy more of the poop (REINDEER poop!).
Of course, Aaron, who loves to accost every Walmart employee within sight to ask them where something is, was on a mission.
We couldn’t locate the poop (REINDEER poop). As we walked up an aisle, Aaron began veering toward a woman in the unmistakable blue Walmart vest.
Me: AARON! Do NOT ask anyone where the reindeer poop is. We can find it ourselves.
We had already looked in one section of Christmas supplies without success. Soon I saw an employee walking our way.
Me: Excuse me, I have a question…..
Aaron: We’re looking for the reindeer poop! Can you tell us where it is?
Me: Aaron, HUSH!
Me (trying again): Is there another section of Christmas decor and so forth?
He was able to answer my question despite his confusion and on our way we went, with me ordering Aaron in no uncertain terms to NOT ask any other poor innocent employees for help finding reindeer poop.
Soon we were in the garden section, scouring the Christmas aisles for reindeer poop, when there stood an unsuspecting blue-vested Walmart employee with a smile on her face. A smile which Aaron took for an open invitation to ask the dreaded question.
Aaron: HEY! Do you know where the reindeer poop is?
Me: AARON!
Aaron: I’m just trying to help us find the reindeer poop.
So I felt the urgent need to do some explaining about reindeer poop while she told us where it might be and I continued with my explanation more fully while Aaron briskly walked toward, hopefully, reindeer poop.
I hurried to catch up with him.
Me: AARON! I will find the reindeer poop!!
We did locate it, finally. Aaron was super excited and rubbed his hands together furiously while I carried the poop prize to self-checkout.
Hey, if any of you want to buy some exploding reindeer poop I can lend Aaron to you. He’ll help you find it or find who will.
I dare you. 
He Said What?! 
I love your sense of humor, Patty–able to laugh at yourself and the predicaments Aaron puts you in! Your spot-on conclusion added one more hearty chuckle for us readers! WELL DONE!

Thank you, Nancy. Aaron’s a hoot sometimes, even when I’m running behind him doing damage control.

Sounds like those things we called poppers on July 4th. I guess it is a fun new way to sell July in December! I might have to find some of them for grandkids!

Yes, they’re like poppers and they’ve been a big hit here. Ryker squeals and jumps up and down, and so does Aaron.

I gave some to my teen grandson last year and they were a big hit. His parents said he had to share them with his sisters because they were trying to trade items over the coveted reindeer poop. In my family seems the both the boys and girls like them.

Oh Rayla, you are on a journey with your precious son, aren’t you? There are so many ups and downs, especially if behaviors are involved – which we have with Aaron. God has a plan for each of our special ones and a reason for blessing us with them, even though some moments don’t seem like a blessing. May God give you special grace each day.
