Enema Instinct

Maybe not an enema instinct as such, but I get a sense when one of my children is not feeling right.

I can tell even when I'm at work, or in the car or in Wal-mart.

Dad swears he can do the same thing with me. just that instinct. I guess you develop it as a primary care giver.

This may be the reason why despite having a key and "no knock" access to my house, he has never walked in on me while I was taking an enema

With our daughter while growing up it was very easy to tell when she needed an enema. she would be a little demon and after an enema she would literally be singing and dancing. she was told specifically that the enema was not for punishment but that her attitude and behavior showed that she needed a good cleaning out. worked very time!

I think mom had some sort of "enema instinct" because she seemed to be able to determine if my bad behavior was caused by: boys will be boys, lack of sleep, or constipation. Asking, "When did you last poop?" was the confirming question but I think she knew what the answer would be before she asked. As I got older and realized I liked those enemas, I learned to complain a little bit about not wanting an enema so she would not know that I liked them, but being careful not to resist so much that she would not give me one. And then I got caught standing at the sink, bulb in hand, and the game was over.
