We learn from other people's mistakes.
I have some wisdom to impart to mothers today.
I encourage you to learn from my mistakes to avoid some crap (literally).

First tip:
When your toddler says "poo-poo potty" and points to their bum.
CHECK their pull-up before you pull it down to put them on the potty.
I made this mistake this morning.
Poop everywhere! Gross, gross, gross.
I had to give her a shower to get rid of the smeary, gross, gross poo.

So, to recap....check first, then if its all clear, pull down the pull-up.

Second tip:
When changing an infants diaper, make sure you are fully awake.
Babies do not always want to keep still for a diaper change.
If you don't have all your wits about you, do not attempt to hold the baby
still while you wipe with the other hand.
Attempting this stunt could potentially lead to very poopy fingers.

So, wake-up....maybe do some jumping jacks, repeat a tongue twister, whatever it takes to be sure you're up to the task, then attempt the wiggly-baby-poopy-diaper wipe.

To summarize and help you remember these important tips (like stop-drop&roll),
1) Check, sniff and pull.
2) Wake-up to wipe.

If you remember these keys, you have a chance of remaining poop-free!
