"Mom? Mom, what are you DOING in there?"
"I am going to the bathroom!! What do you WANT?"
"The UPS guy needs a signature. Are you okay??"
My voice sounds loud and frustrated over the hum of the fan, although the other buzz had stopped. Suddenly.
"Yes! Just sign it!"
Later, when I surfaced, my daughter comments. I can't help hearing suspicion in her voice.
"Um ... going to the bathroom? You sounded like you were in pain."
"Sometimes going to the bathroom can be painful." What else can I say? It was the first thing that came to mind. And most likely, one of the first things she chooses to discuss with her therapist in years to come.
OMG!!!! I HAVE to tell you, I had to read this THREE times before I UNDERSTOOD! LOLOL As you know, I am an ALL NATURALLLLLL kind of girl so I didn't get the connection at first. At first read, I thought....she's laying down in the bathroom to take a nap? Then I read it again and thought.....she's typing a WORD document and she's using bullets? My LAST thought before I actually "got it" was.....she's laying on the floor putting in a suppository because she is having pain trying to go to the bathroom? Then I re-read it AGAIN and finally it CLICKED! Holly Crap! No pun intended, you are TOO FUNNY!
