My wifey bought doughnuts 🍩 from Mister Donut for desserts. My daughter chose the strawberry-flavoured one, but being greedy proactive about her food intake, she asked to have a bite of my chocolate-flavoured doughnut.

“What’s the magic word?” I prompted, expecting her to say “Please”. What can I say? A little politeness helps you get your way.

“うんち💩!” she shrieked, laughing her head off, amused with herself. She then cast each of us a knowing look and repeated, “うんち！”

She knew that she could say this and get away with it! Fancy us being wrapped around her little finger.

She seized the moment again. “大便💩!” she said the Chinese equivalent, so amused with herself. We were laughing in stitches.

Today, I learnt that only an almost-3-year-old can say crass and crude stuff and still come across as adorable.
