And don't you wonder, too?
So we looked it up (who doesn't love Wikipedia??)
Fascinating!
And I thought this was particularly interesting, considering it is one of Christopher's favorite expressions!
In nautical parlance, "to be pooped" means to have a wave come over the stern from abaft.

And just yesterday your (younger) son told us, in an absolute state of fascination, "Hey, know what? I just tooted and it sounded just like a gun going off."

Haha!! That is hilarious! And doesn't surprise me at all. He is definitely a boys boy.
Funny, we were reading Prince Caspian last night, and I deliberately read it wrong when Lucy and Susan were reminiscing about their ship, and Lucy said something about "the poop." I said "poop deck", and Brynning still laughed hysterically. I'll have to show him that wikipedia page. You saved me a google search!
