I might as well tell this story here - just the other day it was my dad, for a change, who dropped the unwelcome hint. Having just come out of the bathroom where he'd obviously just done a big shit, he said - in his inimitable fashion - "It's OK, I've done my daily do...(pause)...have you done yours?" Half-joking in tone, but even he must know half-serious is too much. I said nothing - I hadn't done yet that day, but I couldn't let him know that. For good reason, as he went on to say: "Do you get constipated very often - I haven't noticed whether you've been doing a do recently?" It took a while for the significance of this utterance to dawn on me - at the time it snapped me into saying, "Well, I have - just sometimes I use the toilet at work, not that it's any of your business". He said "OK...but I know Melanie hasn't been doing properly lately, has she?" I said - "Yes, I'm aware of that, and in case you're wondering I have suppositories in stock if she ever needs one"
So, at the end of all that, he was just using it as an excuse to bring up my daughter's occasional constipation troubles which have flared up again recently. Well, mum and dad both know that if either of them ever lay a medical-gloved finger on her butt - that's it, the line has been crossed, they'll never see either of us again. They just conveniently forget sometimes.
