The strange part of your question is that I was thinking of that very thing today. Weird huh! But what I want to know is. What you were thinking was going to happen to you when your mother told she was going to give you an enema? Especially if you were 5 years old.
I remember what I think was my first enema. I was 5 or 6. I was having severe cramps that was diagnosed by mom as constipation. However it also could have been caused by eating several crayons prior to the diagnosis. Burnt Sienna was my favorite.
My mother, the sweet angel she was, wanting to help her poor ailing son. Of course the miracle cure all of the 50's was an enema. Everything from stomach disorders to hang nails was cured with an enema.
Now I knew absolutely nothing about an enema. What it was. What it did. How it was done. But I was about to get on the job training.
Mom sweetly plucked me from our Samsonite kitchen floor carrying me like a sack of potatoes to the bathroom. This is nothing new. I've been in the bathroom several times before. I knew every inch of it. From the pedestal sink, Yellow porcelain toilet and claw foot bath tub. But there was a new addition to the bathroom. Hanging from a piece of string off the shower curtain rod was a large bloated bag. It reminded my of a water balloon. I considered myself an expert of water balloon. Having discovered the exact quantity of water to put in to create the highest velocity ending in the biggest splash.
"What's that mommy," I innocently and naively inquired.
My mom looked down at me with her caring and gentle eyes.
"That's a hot water bottle I'm going to use to give you an enema."
At that moment I noticed snaking down from the hot water a long off white hose ending in a short tube. In the center of the hose was a metal clip. Mom had opened the medicine cabinet and took out a large jar of vaseline. She set the jar on the bathroom counter and sat down on toilet seat cover. She pulled her dress up revealing her stockinged legs.
"Can you get undressed for Mommy?"
Getting undressed meant taking a bath. A bath with the holy grail of sudsy fun. Mr. Bubble. I quickly stripped off all of my clothes and grabbed one of my aquatic toys. A rubber frog. But I quickly noticed that there was no water in the bath tub. I proceeded to correct this small oversight.
"Aren't you going to put water into the tub mommy for my bath?"
"No honey. All the water I need is in that hot water bottle." She gently grabbed my hand and pulled me toward her. "I need you lie over mommy's lap."
Mommy's lap? The last time I laid across mommy's lap I got a spanking. But I haven't done anything particularly bad lately. So I started a small grass fire with my magnifying glass as I was testing the combustion threshold of an ant.
"Are you going to spank me?" I dropped my frog and covered my rear for protection with both hands.
"No. I'm not going to spank you." Mom pulled me to her knees and over then I went face down.
Now here I am naked. Laying face down over mommy's lap and this big water balloon is hanging above me. My arms dangled over her right thigh and my legs dangled over the other. I felt her hand gently pat my naked upturned bottom and her other hand pushed a finger full of vaseline into my bottom. It sort of tickled as she moved her finger in an out a few times. Then the hand patting my bottom, separated my butt cheeks and I felt a large tube being pushed very gently into my rear end. It stopped when I felt the flange of the nozzle touch the opening of my anus. My butt cheeks were spread a little wider. Probably to check on the success of the insertion. Then they were squeezed together. Trapping the nozzle inserted up my bottom.
"Okay honey. I'm going to turn on the water."
So far I had no idea what was going on here. Here I was laying naked over my mom's knees connect via rectum with the water balloon.
This is an enema? How long do I lay here with this thing stuck in me. Well as you all know. I didn't have to wait long. After a short delay, there was an ear shattering click that echoed off the walls of the bathroom. It sounded like a rifle shot to me. But what I couldn't hear was the water rushing through the hose obeying newtons first law of gravity. All objects being solid or liquid head toward the center of the earth. Unfortunately I was between the hot water bottle and the center of earth. The water rushed unmercifully into my gut obeying another law of physics. Two object can not occupy the same space. The water was displacing my guts. I could actually feel myself rise above my mom's lap pivoting back and forth on my bloated stomach. But that wasn't the worse part.
"Mommy!! I gotta go potty now!" I cried out as the urge to poop became my only focus.
Now this kind soul. My mother. Who is suppose to protect me from monsters in my closet. Playfully ruffled my hair.
"You have to take all of the water."
All of the water? Niagra Falls doesn't had this much water. I can taste my spleen. The organs in my body have been completely displaced by all of this water. Any moment it's going to come out my ears.
"I really really have to go potty. I can't hold it," I pleaded.
More hair rustling which was her way of saying no. I remember when I wanted a gun and holster to go with my Lone Ranger costume. All I got was a head pat and no gun. But this was way different. First I wasn't cramping and felt like I had to poop out a bowling ball and second this isn;t going to cost mom any money. Her usual answer for my inquiries. Like can I have a gorilla mom? She would tell me we can't afford a gorilla. But having her let me go to the bathroom was something she could afford and better allow before I create a new art fad. Enema-art on our bathroom walls. But just as the cramps and urge became unbearable...
"Good boy. You took it all." Mom sang out in praise.
Good...Get this thing out of my butt and get off the toilet. Also hold all my calls for about 5 years once I get on the toilet. But I was about to learn another painful reality of the enema. The nozzle remained in my bottom even though the water supply was exhausted.
"You said it was done. I really need to go potty." I seethed out through clenched teeth.
"You have to hold it for 5 minutes now honey."
You know it's tough to be a kid.
