lift this off a site for kids
Why is poop brown?
The color comes mainly from bilirubin, a pigment that arises from the breakdown of red blood cells in the liver and bone marrow. The actual metabolic pathway of bilirubin and its byproducts in the body is very complicated, so we will simply say that a lot of it ends up in the intestine, where it is further modified by bacterial action. But the color itself comes from iron. Iron in hemoglobin in red blood cells gives blood its red color, and iron in the waste product bilirubin gives rise to its brown color.

Your poop isnt always brown. Try eating only blueberries for one day....your poop color will change. Brown is the color we see most because brown is a very easy color to obtain when you mix two colors together.
I bet that if you took everything your son ate for the day, put it in a blender and looked at the color...it would be...brownish.
Dead blood cells called bilirubin are excreted in the poop making it brown.
lol, hope this helps... :)
