This choice: "No - but it's yucky, right?" • Go Back...Chapter #9"No - but it's yucky, right?" by: Unknown He pauses and thinks. "No... but it's yucky, right?" He giggles.
"Yeah - yucky and a half!" you call out. "It's absolutely awful. You don't even WANT to know."
"Yes I do." He says, completely deadpan. The effect is lessened as a smile creeps up the corner of his mouth.
"Well, for starters, I'll be covered in your stinky spit again - that was gross earlier, by the way." He giggles as you continue, trying to paint the ugliest and most discouraging picture possible for him.
You continue. "Then, your gullet will push me down to your..."
"...belly!" He interrupts. Yeah - I know that. "But what happens inside?" he's really interested now. This is your last chance to dissuade him.
You have no choice but to continue your lesson on digestion. "Do you know what acid is?" He shakes his head. "It's gross stuff that burns and melts stuff. Your stomach makes it to melt your food."
"Is it hot like lava?" He asks, his eyes coming alive.
"No, not really - it melts with chemicals. It'll turn me to gross, nasty mush and bones. Not pretty at all!" You check to see if you're getting through to him. You can't tell - he's stone-faced, waiting for you to continue.
"Yeah... so I'll be puke by then. You hate puke, right? Super yucky and gross..." He's still curious, not reacting. You sigh. "And then I'll drain into your intestines - it's a long skinny tube where you'll suck the good parts out of the puke to use for your body. So weird, right? You wouldn't want that..."
"If I suck up the good parts, what happens to the bad parts?" He asks. You make eye contact, there's a knowing gleam in his green eyes. He's trying to suppress a smile.
"I have a feeling you already know." you say with a little bit of dread.
"Tell me." He leans in, his eyes going wide and feral.
You don't have a choice. You sigh. "The leftovers move into a bigger intestine - a bigger tube that sucks out water and dries it up. It gets stinky from germs that live in there. Stinky and..." you close your eyes, ashamed. "brown. And then it heads to the inside of your butt."
He smiles warmly, almost triumphantly. "So what will you be then?" He asks with a taunting tone. Your stomach drops. You don't want to play this game anymore. "You know..." you say, leadingly.
"Tell me what you'll be." His impish smile returns.
"Fine! I'll be your poop, kid! Is that what you wanted to hear? I'll be poop! Stinky brown poop!" You shout it out, hoping your exasperated tone would convey your annoyance. It didn't make you feel any better. In fact, the visible spots of your skin all turn pink.
"Haha, are you... blushing!?" He teases.
"No... I'm... not blushing." You lie.
"Yes you are - you tried to gross me out, but grossed yourself out, haha! Well, I've got bad news - I LOVE gross stuff!"
Of course he does - he's a 7 year old boy.
"Hehe - it's funny - normally my guts turn food brown - but you're ALREADY brown, aren't you!?" He giggles gleefully.
"It's not funny." You mutter.
"Aw, you're blushing again... you really don't wanna be my poop, do you?" he smiles.
"No. PLEASE!!! I don't even want to THINK about it..."
His stomach gurgles... "Well..." he smiles...
"my stomach is hungry for you - time to go down."
"my butt is telling me I can show you your future!"   indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
