During my elementary school years, before my parents deemed me old enough
to watch after myself, I had to spend my after-school hours at a sitter's. Most of
the other kids there were nice enough, but there was one kid that terrified us.
She was in fifth grade, which made her old in our eyes, and she was a bully
as well. She was also horridly obese, and it wasn't out of the ordinary for her
to put one of us in a headlock and demand we hand over our graham crackers at
snack time. With her greasy forearm cutting off the air supply, the poor unfortunate
had no alternative but to comply.
One afternoon I had to whiz, so I ran inside. I saw the behemoth coming out
of the bathroom, so I ducked around the corner to avoid her, then slipped into the
bathroom after she had passed. I was greeted by a foul odor, and floating there
in the bowl was a steaming logjam of amazing proportions.
I immediately ran back outside, whizzed in the bushes, and told my buddies what I
had seen.
We all got a good laugh, but the joke turned out to be on me. The sitter had
seen me come out of the bathroom and assumed that the poop was mine. Disregarding
the fact that a seven year old could not possibly produce that much shit, she
gave me a 15 minute lecture about proper bathroom etiquette, and when I protested
that I wasn't the one who had befouled the bathroom, I got another one about lying.
Years later, I ended up dating the behemoth's younger sister (her cute, nonfat sister)
and thought about pulling the same trick on her. I gave up that idea because I
had become a "mature and responsible person", and also because I realized that I couldn't
time it right. I got my revenge by loosening the battery cables on her car,
making up a non-existent problem about why it wouldn't start, and charging her $200
bucks to fix it.
