Saying No

Posted 11.18.2004 by The Big Wiper (2244)
My mother belonged to a high-profile garden club in our hometown. One of the membership perks was that it offered a swimming pool to members and their families. We took advantage of it every summer, and my brother and I had a great time beating the heat with our friends, playing games, and working out in the water. We could not have enjoyed these activities any other way.

One sultry summer morning we put on our trunks and got ready to pile into the car to head out to the pool as usual. As bad luck would have it, however, I was struck by the overwhelming urge to drop the kids in a different kind of pool. It came upon me at the precise moment that my mother, with the engine running, called out from the carport, "Come on, boys! Stop dawdling!"

Then everything got weird on me. Instead of telling her that I had to go bad, I decided to suffer in silence. Don't ask me why I didn't just go to our bathroom and take care of my very pressing business. Perhaps it was because I always looked forward to our swimming outings, so I put that anticipation above the anal variety I was simultaneously experiencing. Go figure the mind of a ten year-old boy.

For me, we couldn't travel across town to the club grounds fast enough. What I had to get rid of felt very solid and was putting my sphincter through its paces. I kept thinking about that old football cheer as the seconds and city blocks passed: "Push 'em back, push 'em back, way back!" Finally I 'fessed up, telling my mother that I was going to have to go to the changing room as soon as we got out of the car. She wanted to know why, and I told her that my "stomach was upset." From that, she extrapolated that I was either going to throw-up or had the runs; truth was, I just had to pinch a prolific po' boy.

The crisis gathered steam. As soon as she parked the car, I jumped out and high-tailed it across the parking lot to the mens' changing room around the corner from the pool. The design of the facility was cramped and privacy-challenged, featuring several benches up front, a shower stall and a sink, and one open toilet in the back, visible to anyone walking in the door. Hoping I didn't encounter anyone on it, I rushed in, pulled down my trunks, and obtained immediate, blessed relief. I estimated that at least a foot of yesterday's summer vacation fare began to snake its way out of me like a big, lazy boa.

I was only halfway through, however, when the front door opened and a boy's head popped in. Believe it or not, a British voice said, "Are you all right in there, chap?"

Looking up from the ordeal emerging between my legs, I saw my friend Graham, an exchange student from London sponsored by my church. He'd apparently taken it upon himself to check in on me. I told him I was okay, and then he said, "Your mother said you weren't feeling well, and she asked me to look in on you. She said you were ghastly sick."

Conducting this interview with Graham on the commode was somewhat of an imposition, even for a budding Shameless Shitter as myself; so I quickly put an end to it by telling him that I wasn't sick in that way, and that he shouldn't worry about me any longer.

Graham took the cue, and the Last of the Commodehicans made a clean getaway from my fecal fort. But this entire misunderstanding, which I had brought on myself by simply not insisting on going before we left home, was not over yet. After I emerged from the changing room, my mother made a point of telling her all her friends lounging around the pool, that I had had an "upset stomach."

Even the Shameless can only take so much attention. I remember dealing with all the sympathetic clucking and poor-little-boy-ing from all the adult women in the manner of Dustin Hoffman's character in The Graduate: I went underwater, and remained submerged until I was reasonably certain they had shifted their conversation to something else.

Now, decades later, I can laugh about the whole thing. But looking back on this episode, I think I can confidently say to my fellow poopers that postponing the deed is just never a good idea, physiologically and psychologically. Nike has it right: just do it.

Sure it would've been better to get it over with early, but don't you feel so victorious when you make those final strides to the toilet when you've got a shit fighting you for release? Maybe I'm a sadist, but I like the challenge that a mean crap can propose. Its like challenging a duel between my mind and ass, with the toilet as the judge. I make it to the toilet 99% of the time, and then its just "parry, parry, thrust, thrust." It makes me feel like a real man.

You should have been honest and just told
your mum you had to drop a load.

The Shit Volcano (3741) -- 11.18.2004

It's a wonder you didn't become a shameful shitter over this incident. You should have just told her you had to shit really bad. Then again, that is easier said than done by little kids. I remember dropping a brown potato in my undies because I didn't want to tell Mom I had to crap.

The Big Wiper (2244) -- 11.18.2004

Yep. I shouldn't have postponed. But looking back on it, I really think the excitement of getting to the pool got the better of me. And you're right, TSV, an incident like this might have pushed me in the other direction. The fact that I didn't want Graham to talk to me any longer than he did is a good indication that I wasn't completely Shameless at that point in time.

Let me get this straight; you had to poop, you held it for a bit, then offloaded in the appropiate place with one minor and very polite interruption? Yawn.

Logjam (2416) -- 11.18.2004

Yeah, and to followup on poopsicle's observation. Literature just bores me. People are born, they get into some sort of fix, they resolve it, maybe, and then die. Double yawn.

freakazoid (not verified) -- 11.18.2004

If literature bores you, then why do you come to this site?

Logjam (2416) -- 11.18.2004

There’s always a risk, freakozoid, that when one tries to be a little subtle, literal types will miss the point entirely. Indeed, this is one of the reasons I sometimes like to be subtle. Give it some thought.

The Shit Volcano (3741) -- 11.18.2004

Don't sweat about freakazoid, Logjam. This person is always making trouble.

Logjam (2416) -- 11.18.2004

Thanks for charging to my rescue, TSV. And to TBW, my apologies for playing a part in derailing this thread. I have to learn to overlook irritating posts.

this is so funny I shit my pants

liquidy_poo (63) -- 11.18.2004

like that one for example?

William (not verified) -- 11.18.2004

TBW: Yes, you should probably have just gone & sat on the pot at home & let every one else wait. I would have done that.

However, it's also true that your mother wasn't very tactful there at the pool.

Enough said!!

The Big Wiper (2244) -- 11.19.2004

Again, my fault, actually. She was just being a mother, thinking that I was sick. As someone further up the thread pointed out, I should have also just told her it was a matter of #2 straight out. When I submitted this story to Dave-O, my title suggestion was: The Consequences Of Postpoing The Deed. (And using euphemisms, too, I suppose.)

I always laid my logs in the pool, then got out and got a Coke while the action started. O fcourse, I'd wait till I was done swimming first. This is at the Boy's Club.

The Shit Volcano (3741) -- 11.20.2004

Rectal Inversion, you can get the same effect with a balled-up brownie and it's less work.

That Story Wos Bollocks

Controlling your urge to shit-Drink a quart of Orange Metamucil and stay as tight as a snare drum all day and then come evening you better have some rubberized exoanable underwear as you will fill your diapers thru the night until the next morning and you will notice your belly has a jello like shake to it and it is 360 degrees all-around your waistline,well it time to shower and suds up your skin to get rid of the smell and then you will notice the greatest benefit of all
you will be able to see your toes without holding your stomach in at all !

One tablespoon of baker dry yeast mixed into a cup of hot chocolate and you will have enough gas to last the entire day-enough to gas all your co-workers out of the building provided they do not have colds and cannot smell anything at all.

A! FUNNY STORY! You're my favorite poopreport writer!

healthy 1 (1423) -- 11.18.2006

Ah mothers, gotta love them.

I would have probably done the same thing as you TBW. What sound better "My stomach is upset" or "I have to take a giant shit"? Most people would opt for quote A.
