I accidentally scared my niece once. She was having a bit of constipation so I explained to her the necessity of fiber and vegetables. She was 9, or 8 maybe.

‘You can get hemorrhoid if the constipation get out of control. That happened to me a few times.’ I said.

‘What’s hemorrhoid?’ She asked.

‘It’s broken and swollen skin on the butthole and rectum. In a very bad scenario the bottom bit of rectum might fall out.’

I forgot it about it completely. A few weeks later she asked me what will happen if guts fall out.

This is a bizarre question. I thought. ‘Guts won’t fall out.’ I said. ‘It’s a very big organ and it doesn’t just sneak out of your body.’

‘What if it happens? Like, let’s say, a bird’s gut fall out of the body.’

‘I guess it’ll die.’ I said.

A few months later my sister called me because my niece was crying and refuse to poop.

I had to apologise to her and explain the rectum is a very small part of the entire gut system, promise her she won’t die, but my sister wasn’t satisfied with the answer, so I rephrased it, promise she won’t die from constipation.

I had very regular and healthy bowel movements when I was young. I used to have a habit(I’m not sure if it’s good or bad), to drink excess amount of yogurt. Like around 200-400ml per day. Yogurt was my favorite thing. When I came back from school, 4:45pm, the first thing I would do is to go to the toilet then drink yogurt, sometimes at the same time. My sisters were absolutely disgusted.

Not the only thing they find disgusting. I never liked to wear underwear, never ever. Panties first bra then. I remember once i was spotted not wearing panties, when I was 6(bc we went swimming and we need to change or something). I explained my 🐱 feels like it can’t breath. I guess it was shocking for her.

Have I mentioned chili flowers smell like cucumber?
