Euphemisms explode when you have grandchildren, especially if your own child is particularly sensitive to descriptors commonly used by adults. Accordingly, “take a dump” took a holiday from my vocabulary for a decade and a half. My imagination took hold. “Bathroom bathroom,” “feed the tree,” “test the pipes,” “alleviate lower intestinal buildup,” “make earth,” and “bring out the dead” are among the descriptive phrases I’ve employed in her household and my own when the grandsons were potentially within earshot. Early on, she objected to “ship high in transit,” proclaiming that boys are clever, and she’d prefer hers avoided the anacronym until they have left for college.

Here's an interesting take, and I've only ever seen one person do it. My dad will eat a slice of cheese on top of a moon pie.

I am the only one in my household that likes moon pies. I have failed as a parent and a husband, obviously.

Smear a tablespoon of peanut butter on a plate about the size of the bottom of a glass. Place a mini moon pie on top. Microwave 10 seconds. Use a spoon to eat it.

You're welcome.
