So, here's the thing with my family - whenever one of us calls another one of us, we instantly have to use the bathroom. It's like some weird reaction we all have. Well, at least the women in my family. My mother and sister have this weird reaction for me. They call - I pretty much head to the bathroom.
And I know what you're thinking - why am I peeing while talking to them on the phone - well, because we're just that kind of family. They go to the bathroom while on the phone with me, so hey, why not.
Today, my sister called me while she was at school and working in the school's newspaper's office. So, we're talking about things we did over the weekend (the wake, to be honest, which just makes this story that much worse) and I have to pee. So, I go to the bathroom. Julie stops talking while I am doing my business. Then I flush. Right about the time I start washing my hands, I hear people laughing.
"Enna" Julie says
"Yes" I reply
"You are on speaker phone, you know that, right?"
"No, I was not aware of that fact. How many other people are in the room?" I ask
"About 12" Julie replies, laughing.
"What, no applause?" I ask. Because really, what else could I have said?
On the plus side, it didn't make the front page of her newspaper, so for that I can be thankful. I guess.
I do this to my family members. They changed my diaper, so what difference does it make, I mean, really?
ReplyDeleteThat is my point as well!
ReplyDeleteI, too, always have to go to the bathroom when on the phone with my mother - I never really noticed or thought about until this very moment.... fascinating....
ReplyDeleteI'll be back to read more :)
Perhaps it's an unspoken epidemic...hmmm...and come back anytime!
ReplyDeleteIt is not an isolated incident. You pee while on the phone so much it was bound to happen.
ReplyDeleteIt was your destiny.
