AM, Unit 2

On the way home Mother said, "Shira'le, if you have to, tell me or Father.
You must call us before you flush." I sat on the side and I thought that I
had lost ten shekels, because even if the coin would come out the "natural
way", I will never touch it. I tried to imagine the foreign object sliding
down Shira's throat and crawling inside.

When we returned home I approached the book shelf and took the book
that Father bought me in the last "Book Week", 'Encyclopedia of the human
body for children'. I saw in it disgusting pictures of cut up people, and
Father said that they are not really cut up, it is just drawn like that in order
to see all the organs that they have inside. The drawings in the book were
different from the photos that they did to Shira, because they were [in] with
colors and they had explanations. I thought how much fun it could have
been if I had x-ray glasses. It could simply [have been] be great. Because I
could [have seen] see everything in everybody.

All evening we waited for Shira's poop, and even Grandmother called to
ask if it had already happened. Shira and I did not laugh anymore when
they said poop, because after a while it was no longer funny.The next
morning, I did not agree to go to school in order not to miss the big event,
but Shira promised that even if she has to go she will restrain herself until
I come back. Mother heard her and said, "what is the matter with you, what
are you talking nonsense?" Father was annoyed because he had to stay at
home with Shira instead of going to work, and I thought that he simply
does not want [that] the moment to arrive, because then he would have to
go to the bathroom and pick at what came out.

But when I returned from school at noon it had not happened yet. Father
said that we probably pressured Shira and that is why she is not making,
and mother called the family doctor and later went down to the grocery
store to buy castor oil. As soon as she went out, Shira ran to the bathroom
and yelled, "I have, I have!" And father and I waited in suspense and we
raised the TV's volume so that Shira could concentrate without our talking
bothering her. When mother returned Shira already yelled, "Come look,
come look!" and we all stood happy and proud and we looked into the
toilet.
