Sometimes we get exactly what we wish for but not in a way we wanted. |
My dad had to go to the hardware store and I got to go with him! I was really excited since we hardly ever went anywhere together other than church on Sundays with the whole family. This time it was just the two of us. I was four years old and I was going to help him. I don't remember what I ate before we went, but I remember the grumbling and rumbling that made me say excuse me. After half an hour or so, I started getting pain as well. I asked if we could go use the bathroom. He asked if it was urgent. I replied that it wasn't yet, but maybe soon it would be. We stop looking at whatever he was looking at and start looking for a bathroom. At first we were slowly walking normally. Soon though my stomach was making louder and more ominous sounds. We went faster and were jogging after while looking for an associate or a sign to the bathrooms. I started to slow down, not sure I could hold it back much longer. My dad understood and raced off to try to find it. I hobble after him as best I can and as I round the next corner, I see it! There on a platform is a toilet so without a second to waste, I undo my pants, drop trousers and let loose. I made it. I didn't think I would. The relief was immense. A couple minutes later I am nearly done and looking around for the toilet paper. There is none. I try to flush the toilet. It doesn't work. I am starting to panic now as I see a few people standing around staring at me. My dad then comes back around the corner, sees what is happening and gives me the store ads to wipe with. I wiped, pulled up my pants again and we hightailed it out of the store. |
