My Museum Poo
Last night I went dookie in a museum.
Ok, it’s not a real museum, it’s my parents house. See, they’ve got money and a will to leave me nothing after they pass on, so they’re spending an entire month in Florida.
I protested. I mean, they aren’t even old enough to be interested in shuffleboard, let alone spend so much time in the place Canadian seniors go to die. But they insisted Florida is where they wanted to go. Fine, go and enjoy Americas wang. Hey America! Is it cold in here or is it just you?
Since they’re gone for a month, it’s my job to collect the mail and raid their cupboards and freezer. I was there last night, before heading off to a child’s birthday party. Where I’d later learn the kid would completely ignore the gift I gave him but that’s ok. Me and his dad would spend hours playing with it afterwards.

Fine kid. You don't want your gift, I'll take it.
As it does three times daily, the urge came over me to expel some solid waste. But I don’t like doing that at my parents place. I don’t like doing anything at my parents place. My mom is incredibly anal about her stuff. Ever since me and my sister moved out she’s been moving museum pieces in that can’t be touched, breathed on or looked at. In every room of the house.
She even has a whole room I’m not allowed to go into. Just for spite, I took two ugly stuffed cats and arranged them so they’re having anal sex with each other. Take that, museum!
So anyways, I’m in their downstairs washroom doing my business. Looking for the toilet paper dispenser, it’s gone. It has been replaced by some pewter showpiece toilet paper POLE thing on the floor. And the TP was all used up.
Everyone has their “things”. I have many. One of my “things” is that if there’s a toilet paper dispenser available, I cannot use TP off the roll. It has to be ON the dispenser.
Except this museum piece was more a piece of art then a functional TP dispenser. I couldn’t figure out how to replace the roll. So, I did what comes naturally to me. I started to take it apart.
Piece by piece came off and the empty cardboard tube remained stubbornly on it. Stupid thing. I now had about a billion pieces of this thing on the floor in front of me, and my ass was STILL dirty.
Finally, I bit the bullet and used the TP from the roll, not on the dispenser. I now had the monumental task of trying to put this TP dispensor back together from the million pieces I had in front of me. I had an easier job of that carborator from my ’85 olds I used to drive. Frig. Well, I did my best and I hope my mom likes the new stripper pole in the bathroom.
It’ll go well with the nympho cats she acquired in the museum room.














Yes, it’s my birthday. Today. I’m thirty-one years old.
