Did Mom Hide the Enema From You
After reading some of the posts about finding bags in bathrooms it reminded me of an instance when I was about 10 or 11.
Mom had me to the point that I would tell her I needed an enema and she would get the open top fountain syringe out, get one ready and leave it in the bathroom for me. One day Mom was in her bedroom when I told her I needed an enema. She said OK and got it out of her closet. I finally saw where she kept it, on a hook under an old bathrobe and other clothing. I started sneaking the syringe when she was gone for awhile. I had done this four or five times.
The next time I went to get the syringe it was gone. I searched high and low but couldn't find it. Out of curiosity rather than need, the next day I ask Mom for an enema. She looked at me as mothers will and asked when was the last time I had one. I said that it had been a while. She looked me directly in the eye and said that she thought it was just a day or two ago as the enema set was wet and hadn't been cleaned well. The cat was out of the bag (pun intended). I admitted that I had taken one but that I was still constipated. Mom told me that she would get it for me and that I wasn't to take any more enemas without her knowing about it.
As time went on Mom returned the syringe to its usual place in her closet. I used it occasionally but was very careful about cleaning and drying it before I put it away. About a year later Mom told me that whenever I needed an enema I could tell her then go get the syringe and use it. Eventually the bag began to leak and Mom got us a new combination syringe that hung in the same place.
A few months later I was very constipated. I told Mom I was going to take an enema. I got the bag and started to take the enema. A short while later Mom asked if everything was OK. I told her I was having trouble taking the enema. She came in and we talked for a minute. She said to just stay there and she would be right back.
She came back into the bathroom with the biggest enema bag I had seen. It was a 4 quart, red fountain syringe with a very long red hose. In the middle of the hose was bulb. Mom filled it from the bathtub spout and hung it up. She then gave me the enema with it, squeezing the bulb very few seconds until I started to leak. She stopped and had me expel. We finished the bag of soapy water. Mom left that bag in the bathroom and told me I was to take another enema after supper. When I asked her where I was to put the bag when I was done she said that I was to leave it in the bathroom so she could put it away. She said that she didn't want me to use that bag without her knowledge. She said she would put it someplace special so that I would have to ask for it specifically to be able to use it.
Did anyone else's Mom hide the bag?
