Saying Things You Never Thought You Would

So when I started working on some very interesting clients, I started saying things, caring about things and knowing things I never thought I would. For example:

- Did you know there are six types of poo? Yep, and I had to write an entire fact sheet on them. They range from runny pooh, rabbit pooh, hard pooh and more.
- Did you know you are chronically constipated if for more than three month you have infrequent bowel movements?
- Did you know that women going through menopause are more likely to have constipation? Something to do with hormones, and women in general are more likely than men to have constipation.
- Did you know I know part of the lyrics of a play entitled “Menopause the Musical”? First of all, the fact that there is a play is hilarious, and the lyrics crack me up even more - “I am having a hot flash, a tropical hot flash, my personal summer is a really bummer…” HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
- Here is one thing I didn’t say (I am sure my mom would be happy these words didn’t come from my mouth), but I heard and almost choked because I was laughing so hard – “That blown up Swedish Fish looked like a massive penis.”

Ironically, or not ironically and maybe expected, but my current career entails A LOT of potty talk, such as:
- “Johnny’s poo was kinda runny.”
- “Jane’s poo was pretty green.”
- “YAY! Johnny stands up to go peepee.”
- “Jane only had one BM today, and it partially came out of her diaper and ran down her leg.”

Oh, the irony of life. It cracks me up. It appears I can’t escape the potty talk, which only proves the similarity of my two careers in life thus far. Perhaps working on those random clients prepared me for my current profession. (-:
