Conversations I never thought I'd have....

For the past four weeks or so, I've been working as a speech therapist aide. My job is to provide therapy for kids who have various speech problems. It's been an adventure like I've never had.

Wednesday, I had the privledge of having a conversation I never in my life DREAMED I thought I would have.

He comes in and sits down. We start out with some general chit-chat that went something like this:

Him: I think I forgot something today.
Me: Oh, really? What did you forget?
Him: I forgot to leave something in the toilet.
Me: Um, well, um, thats, um, well, um....
Him: Do you want to know what it was?
Me: Um, well, no, not really.
Him: Well, I think I would like to tell you anyway.
Me: Do you have to?
Him: Yep. I forgot to leave my gas in the toilet.
Me: Your what?
Him: You know, my farts. I forgot to leave one in the toilet and I have one I really need to get rid of.
Me: Do you want to step out into the hall?
Him: Why? Is there a toilet in the hall?
Me: Well, no, I just, you know, don't want you to leave it in here is all. It's a small office. Not much ventilation, you know.
Him: Oh, I could never do that. I can only leave my gas in the toilet.
Me: Thank goodness.
Him: (with a pained look on his face) I'm not sure I can hold it much longer (and now he's doing what I would normally call the "pee pee dance" but in his case, we'll call it the "gassy dance").
Me: Do we need to cut this session short today or can you hold it in?
Him: I think I might want to leave now.
Me: Alrighty then, see you next week.

He then runs out the door and down the hall as fast as he can go.

I sure hope I don't have this conversation again.
