"Did mommy scare the poop out of you?"

Some of you may know that we occasionally get books from Dolly Parton's Imagination Library. One of Jacob's favorites is The Gruffalo. Lately he is showing some fear of the dark, although he still wants mommy and daddy to take him in dark rooms and whisper to us that it's dark. Tonight we were all in the kitchen, Jacob looked outside and whispered "dark" while nodding his head. He then whispered over and over "Fuffalo(Gruffalo)". Mommy asked him if the Gruffalo was after him. He whispered "Yes." and started shivering and walking out of the kitchen. Mommy then disturbed the silence with a "BOO". Jacob started to whine and ran to mommy with arms out and said, in that same whiny voice "Poopie". After I was done laughing I asked "Jacob, did mommy scare the poop out of you?". While giving mommy a big hug he said "Yes."
