City: Mom's claim stinks
By Alexandra Fenwick Staff Writer
NORWALK - A New York woman who took her family to visit the Maritime Aquarium has filed a $100 claim against the city, saying her child's shoes, along with the entire outing, were ruined when her 1-year-old stepped in dog feces early last month outside the Maritime Garage. Norwalk officials will deny the claim, city attorney M. Jeffry Spahr said. "The official response is her claim is denied and poop happens," he said.

Can you imagine the horrors this child would suffer if he stepped on cow poop?
Heck, when I was a kid we’d have cow poop wars in the pasture, throw this stuff at each other.
*APPLAUSE*
Good for this city attorney! It’s so rare to see somebody with common sense in a job like that.
psst. Hey lady, poop washes off. Get a hose.
horse apples fly farther.
Hmmmm. Good thing, I guess, that the 1-year-old did not mistake it for a brown sidewalk crayon...
What about the nice shiny green boots you got walking through the milking barn? Bwahaha!
“Good thing, I guess, that the 1-year-old did not mistake it for a brown sidewalk crayon...”
...yeah, or a tootsie roll!!!
LOL!
This is just too danged funny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LOL! Poop happens — priceless.
LOL. With a one year old that could have easily happened.
Yes we were exposed to lots of poop in our lives, as we always had a dog, as did everyone else we knew.
I have two dogs now, in a fenced yard. I had some visitors last summer (kids, ages 7 to 16), and they freaked when they stepped in some. Their Mom threw away their shoes (expensive shoes) rather than clean them. They sat around complaining, I guess they thought I was supposed to get rid of my dogs to keep from inconveniencing them.
A waterhose will take care of the problem el pronto. I also noted that none of my visitors never offered to pick up the poop and remove it from the yard (as I was busy cooking, cleaning, building a fire in the firepit to make smores for these visitors). They simply sat on their butts and whined because I had poop in my yard.
If you don’t wear shoes, you don’t have to worry about ruining them! LOL Don’t you hate the way chicken poop squishes between your toes?! At least dog poop is big enough to see and avoid!
Those kids sound like prime candidates for a horse apple bomb or a flying cowpattie!
We’ve become a society of victims. What a drama queen.
Good grief -— I’m sorry but some people are just much too prissy.........SHEESH
Folks that come to my house know exactly where the dog’s “territory” is — if they fail to heed the warning they are pointed to the hose!!!!
LOL. Oh Lord, if they had to experience that they’d be visiting a therapist for years!!!!!
Actually we never even wore shoes in the summer when I was a kid. I’ve actually had hot pavement (from walking down a road) imbedded in my feet!!!

This item has been pulled by the mods at least once last week. We’ll see if it lasts this time.
Oh
My
God!!!
When things get tough these people will starve to death.
Meadow muffins...
The only time we wore shoes after school was out was when we went to town or church. I could run flat out on walnut size gravel and never feel a thing. Kids are too sissified nowadays. LOL
