Three A.M. toilet break

We've started shifts for dad's toilet breaks.

So I wake dad up at 3am so he would pee in the toilet.

Strangely though - and this has happened more than once - he wants to take a shit. At 3am.

For whatever reason, the event interests mom enough to make her crawl out of bed. She says it's very bad that dad doesn't defecate in a regular manner like she does. Or according to her, "everyone" does.

So. Back to the toilet. I always thought people put a torch in there in case of an emergency (blackout). But apparently not.

I return to the toilet to check on dad, just in time to hear mom asking him, 'Did you shit?'

And see her shining the torch into the toilet bowl. 'See, I use this torch to see ...'

That was my cue to beat a hasty retreat.
