Hooves in the Sand: Mitchell's Beachside Stallion Adventure

The morning sky was blazing down on the beach like some kind of cosmic joke, and here was Chad - yeah, that's right, Chad - dragging little Mitchell through the sand like he was hauling a sack of wet cement. The dude was your typical college-bro babysitter: backwards baseball cap, board shorts that had seen better days, and the kind of tan that screamed "I spend more time at the beach than in class."

"Alright, little man," Chad grunted, adjusting his grip on Mitchell's chubby arm while the kid waddled along in nothing but his shirt and a saggy pamper that looked ready to surrender. "Time to show these beach babes what real horsemanship looks like."

Mitchell's toy horse - some plastic monstrosity that had probably cost more than Chad's textbooks - sat waiting in the sand like a noble steed ready for battle. The thing was bright yellow with a ridiculous mane that fluttered in the ocean breeze, and honestly, it looked about as dignified as a fraternity pledge during rush week.

"Dude, you sure you wanna do this?" Chad asked, scratching his sun-bleached hair. "Last time you rode that thing, you nearly took out Mr. Henderson's beach umbrella." But Mitchell was already climbing aboard with the determination of a drunk sophomore trying to climb into a top bunk.

The kid settled onto his plastic stallion, gripping the handles like he was about to lead a cavalry charge. His pamper crinkled with every movement, making sounds that reminded Chad of the chip bags scattered around his dorm room after a particularly epic gaming session.

"Giddy up, horsey!" Mitchell squealed, bouncing on the toy with the enthusiasm of a pledge doing keg stands. That's when things got interesting.

Mitchell leaned forward, his face scrunching up with the kind of concentration Chad usually reserved for trying to remember if he'd actually attended his morning lectures. The kid's eyes went wide, his cheeks puffed out, and then - PFFFRRRRRRT - he let loose a fart that could've registered on the Richter scale.

"Bro, that was gnarly!" Chad laughed, slapping his knee like he'd just witnessed the most epic beer pong shot of all time. "You just crop-dusted half the beach!"

But Mitchell wasn't done. Oh no, the little dude was just getting started. His face turned red as a solo cup, and he began pushing with the kind of effort that reminded Chad of his roommate trying to squeeze into jeans after a semester of dining hall food.

The pamper began to sag even more as Mitchell filled it with what could only be described as a dump of epic proportions. The kid was grunting and straining like he was benching his body weight, all while still bouncing on that ridiculous horse.

"Dude, are you seriously taking a massive dump right now?" Chad asked, equal parts horrified and impressed. "On a toy horse? In public? That's like... next-level commitment to the bit, little man."

Mitchell just grinned and kept bouncing, his loaded pamper making wet, squishy sounds that had nearby beachgoers looking around like they were trying to locate the source of some mysterious ocean creature. The smell hit Chad like a linebacker tackling a quarterback - sudden, brutal, and impossible to ignore.

"Holy crap, literally!" Chad gagged, covering his nose with his tank top. "That's worse than the time Jake ate nothing but protein bars and energy drinks for a week. I think you just biological-warfare'd this entire section of beach."

The pamper was now hanging so low it looked like Mitchell was smuggling a watermelon, and the kid was still riding that horse like he was training for the Kentucky Derby. Other parents were starting to stare, some covering their kids' eyes, others just backing away slowly like they'd stumbled into a crime scene.

"Alright, champ," Chad said, trying to breathe through his mouth, "I think it's time to get you cleaned up before the EPA shows up and declares this a hazardous waste site."

But Mitchell just kept riding, completely unbothered by his aromatic achievement, living his best life on that plastic horse while his pamper defied the laws of physics and basic human decency.

Chad shook his head and pulled out his phone. "The guys back at the house are never gonna believe this," he muttered, already composing the group text that would become legendary in his fraternity's history.
