Embarrassing

Today I called my 85-year-old uncle. As conversations often do with the elderly, we spent an inordinate amount of time on bowel movements. Well, he did; I mostly listened.

Again, as often is the case with the elderly, he got hung up on a certain word, so I repeated it for him each time. Unfortunately, my coworkers heard me silent for most of the time, except for saying "diarrhea" at regular intervals. I couldn't wait to leave!
