I remember one particular night, I had not been to the bathroom for I know at least 3 days. Mom had put me to bed an hour or so earlier, but I was too full of poop to drift off to sleep. I lay there on my bed trying desperately to make it into dream world, but I just couldn't do it. Finally, about two hours after I had been told good night, I got up, walked into our living room where Mother and Mam-Maw was seated watching television. I stood in the doorway that connected the living room with the dining room for about a minute before Mom noticed me standing there. Mother spoke to me before I could utter a word, saying "Mike, what are you doing up at this hour? Didn't I put you to bed a couple of hours ago?" I said "Mom, I am so full, I can't go to sleep." Mam-Maw spoke up saying "Mary, you need to give Mike some Castoria! He's constipated." Mom spoke back to her Mom, "Mom, do you really think I should?" Mam-Maw replied "I have been in his shape recently and it isn't going to get any better by itself." So, Mom got up from her seat and she and I went into the kitchen where she kept the Castoria. She took the bottle out of the cabinet, shook it, and then proceeded to pour the laxative into a spoon. She gave me three spoons of the awful stuff and then sent me back to my bedroom. I again tried to drift off to sleep, but, again, I was too full. I just lay there on the bed for I know at least 30 more minutes, before I gave up and again went into the living room where Mom and Mam-Maw was still watching late-night tv. This time Mom noticed me right away and said "Mike, I thought you were going to try and go to sleep." I looked down at the floor, and then spoke, saying "Mom, I tried, but I am just too full. Isn't there something that you could give me now that would make me go?" Mom just sat there looking over at me when her Mom spoke up saying "Mary, you could give him an enema." Mom looked over at her and replied "Mom, really?" Mam-Maw then replied "Mary, sometimes those things really do help out." Well, with that said, Mom got up from her seat, told me to go on back to my bathroom and she would be in there shortly. I started back toward my room, but stopped at the front of the doorway that connected my bedroom with the dinning room. I saw Mom walk through the dinning room into the hall that connected the dinning room with her bathroom. Soon, she reappeared in the dinning room carrying her red Rexall Victoria Combination syringe. I went ahead and headed toward my bathroom. Mom soon arrived as well. She handed me the syringe's red hose as she stepped toward the sink. I watched intently as she first turned on the hot water knob and then proceeded to adjust the cold water valve. When she had the water at the appropriate temperature that she wanted, she stuck the red hot water bottle into the flow and began filling the bag with that warm liquid. Within a minute or so, she turned off the water and asked for the red hose that I was holding for her. She quickly screwed the adapter plug into the bottle and walked over to the wall beside the toilet and proceeded to hang the bottle on the wall by its bottom tab. I, meanwhile, began to step out of my white undies. Then, I heard a soft bloop,bloop, bloop sound emitting from the syringe's hose as water began filling it. Soon, I was lying across the toilet seat, awaiting Mom's slipping of the syringe's black enema pipe into my rectum, which did not take her long. This was one of the best enemas I ever got and just remembering her filling the bag while I held onto the red hose gives me goosebumps. Thank you Mom....
