P: Everybody poops.

T: No.

P: You poop, the cat poops, the dog poops, even the fish poops.

T: The fish doesn't poop.
P: He does!

T: No...

P: Even worms poop.
T: Worms poop? (thinks about it) Do balls poop?

P: No. Because they aren't living.

T: Why?
P: They're called inanimate objects.

T: Balls do poop!

P: No, they don't.

T: They do! I saw one poop on the window!

(a few moments later)

T: I poop and the dog poops and the cat poops. But the balls don't poop.

P: Right, the balls don't poop.
T: No. Because balls don't have butts.
