All it takes is a nice morning where the first thing you do is stub your toe for me to bring it to the air. So I did, and now we're blogging about it because of how intense the responses to this topic became. I love this for us. We Mainers are really just keeping it real out here.

I asked Maine to fill in the blank to "I knew it was going to be a bad day when ____", and almost 50% of you had stories to tell me about pooping your pants in public. If you know me personally, you know that's one of my favorite topics to talk about anytime, any place. So I wrote down some of the best responses from my show this morning, and I'm gonna share them with you in case you need a little laugh.

I knew it was going to be a bad day when:

"I got pulled over, and got so nervous I pooped my pants in front of the cop. Still got the ticket."

"I woke up to the sound of my dog throwing up on my bed."

"My kid fingerprinting the wall of her bedroom with her own poop."

"I ran out of gas on my way TO work, making me not want to go anymore."

"My alarm didn't go off and I had to book it to work in sweatpants."

Truly, normalize waking up and giving yourself more credit for walking out the door in the morning, haha.
