Nah, it's shit-apples and shit-trees. I was just using pedantry as an excuse to make poop jokes.
Side note: the principal where I used to work would say "spotted dogs have spotted puppies," about the kids who didn't stand a chance to avoid a bad situation at school because they were raised by shitty parents.
I also once witnessed him telling a parent, "yes, I know your child is the most special kid at our school and that you're a very special parent, which is why you feel you should be prioritized and why it's okay for you to be rude. But I just need you to remember that I have all of these other special parents sweeping arm gesture whose kids are also the most special child at our school. So instead of endangering the other special kids, you're just going to have to be a little bit patient like the wonderful special parent I know you can be." Fucking epic.
