Absolutely did not gross me out and a fascinating, insightful read 💗

I always feel a sense of shame if I have to go to the poo at work! Like I can't/ thoughts like It will smell etc etc ...when we are all humans with a need to poo! Thank you for writing this

Thank you so much Kate. I appreciate your comment. And yes, I have also felt like that and I remember feeling like that as a child. I loved Princess Diana and I comforted myself with the idea that even she (who seemed so amazing) needed to go to the loo and do poos! Having kids who love talking about this sort of stuff has helped break down shame too :-)

What also makes me smile is that as an adult I may double flush the loo to give it an extra clean/ or somehow freshen the odour but my boys almost skip out the loo proudly (more than often having not flushed!) describing the size of their poo and if I want to have a look?!! (like a poo museum!)🙈🤣...

This made me laugh and laugh and laugh. And isn't that wonderful? The pride at what their bodies have produced. We all need a bit of that energy!!!
