I should have seen it coming, because last night I gave TLM some kiwifruit. You may not know this, especially if you have never fed a kid kiwifruit, but those furry little green ovals activate a child's bowels like nothing else on earth.
This morning's surprise output was so encompassing, that when I took off TLM's trousers some of it landed on my lap. The rest of it fell between my knees onto the long-suffering rug.
I screamed in horror. The wipes were just out of reach.
The boy, only just dressed to go to work, rushed into the lounge to see who was getting murdered.
I screamed some more and pointed at the box of wipes in the far corner.
The boy went in the opposite direction, perhaps thinking I was thirsty and in need of some elderflower cordial.
I screamed still more, this time with an edge of irritation and waving my pointy finger agressively.
Then I said "The wipes! The bloody wipes!".
The boy muttered something about mind-reading and fetched the wipes.
And we used them all up in the clean-up operation.
Now, I was going to post about TLM's toilet humour. But toilet horror is probably a bit less cliched, right?
That reminds me of when my aunt had a Swedish exchange student come to stay. She loved kiwifruit and took a whole bag on 7th form camp with her, eating them all on the bus on the way there. Apparently she was very very ill afterwards.
ReplyDeleteI shall not be eating any kiwifruit for a bit. Thanks for the reminder!
donnasoowho: good gods, I can just imagine her being on a full coach with a highly animated large colon...
ReplyDeleteYeah we all had a good giggle about it afterwards.
ReplyDeleteNow those messes are better avoided
ReplyDeleteAhhah - you obviously did not see Te Radar a couple of nights ago waxing lyrical about the laxative properties of the chinese gooseberry aka kiwifruit. A kiwifruit a day keeps the constipation far away!
ReplyDeletedesiree: no I didn't see that, but I've known about the "laxative" properties ever since TLM was a liddle biddy baby (funny that). Bananas, on the other hand, encourage constipation - something that comes in handy sometimes...
