[nagdu] Random poop

[Larry D. Keeler]

Holly did that when we first came back from Columbus.  She found my sons 
room and gave him the gift!  Not good for making friends!  She only did it 
twice since then.  Once I think she didn't feel well and I was in our local 
grocery store.  We cleaned it up and fortunately, the folks knew me so at 
least they weren't worried.  Me, I was mortified! The second time we were 
going in another store that had carpet.  She started to sqat and we went 
back out really fast!  She did her thing and I got it! We had done a lot of 
walking that day.  Mostly, I don't have to worry much.
