Alright, I think it’s time this sad story is finally told. Time has eased the sting of shame, but the secret is still heavy to carry, and I need to share it. I hope you won’t judge me too harshly as you read this, and I beg for your mercy in advance.
I was 21 or 22 years old and went to a family gathering with my girlfriend at the time (now my wife), at her grandparents’ house. Her parents were there, her brothers, all her uncles, aunts, and cousins. You should know that her family is fairly well-off, they’re all bankers, insurance executives, lawyers, or engineers at big companies, while I come from a more modest background. You can imagine how nervous I was about making a good impression, especially since I was meeting some of them for the first time.
My girlfriend’s family tends to eat a lot and drink a lot, which I wasn’t really used to, and that will matter in the tragedy to come. Her grandfather in particular kept refilling everyone’s plates and glasses, mine included, which I took as a good sign. It’s also worth mentioning that he had started developing Alzheimer’s disease. He was beginning to forget things and occasionally behaved in strange ways.
After the third boozy feast of the weekend, I started feeling pretty bad. So I went upstairs to use the bathroom, and that’s where everything went off the rails.
I produced an absolutely massive piece of crap. As long and thick as my forearm, an apocalyptic sight. I had never seen anything like it. After a moment of intense intestinal relief, I quickly realized that my girlfriend’s grandparents’ old toilet had very, very little water pressure, and there was absolutely no way it could flush this monstrous turd away.
I panicked at the thought of clogging my in-laws’ toilet, and there was no way I was going to ask my girlfriend or her family for help in that situation. I tried breaking it up with the toilet brush, hoping the pieces would eventually go down. After several long minutes of battle and three or four flushes, I finally succeeded.
But at what cost…
The toilet brush was in a horrific state, completely covered in soft, sticky shit. I couldn’t just leave it there, and cleaning it didn’t seem like an option either. So in my half-drunken logic, I did the only thing that felt reasonable: I opened the skylight and placed the brush on the roof, hoping it would slide into a gutter and disappear forever.
That’s when I watched it roll down the roof and, thanks to its momentum, flip right over the gutter and fall straight into the garden, in front of the dining room window, where everyone was still gathered.
I was horrified. Had everyone just seen a shit-covered toilet brush fall from the roof in front of their eyes?
After a few seconds of pure terror, I decided to act quickly, hoping I could still save my dignity, and my relationship, and not become the family’s worst story ever.
I rushed back downstairs and, to my immense relief, realized that no one had seen anything.
I then pretended I wasn’t feeling well (which was pretty believable) and said I was going to get some fresh air in the garden. Dinner was over, everyone was chatting in the dining room and living room, and it didn’t draw any attention.
Once outside, I quickly grabbed the toilet brush and got rid of it as fast as possible. Despite, or because of, my drunkenness, I decided to throw it into the tall grass in the yard of the nasty old neighbor next door, who the whole neighborhood hated because of her awful personality.
Then I went back inside without raising any suspicion.
And that was that.
No one ever mentioned the missing toilet brush. By the time I visited again, the neighbor had mowed her lawn and there was no trace of it. I integrated perfectly into my girlfriend’s family, and today we’re married with a child.
I assume the disappearance of the toilet brush, and its possible discovery by the neighbor, covered in shit in her garden, must have been blamed on my wife’s grandfather and his illness, which I’m deeply ashamed of. The neighbor might also have blamed the local kids. I’ll probably never know.
So there you have it, my darkest secret. I swear this story is true, and I hope I haven’t shocked you too much. I needed to get it off my chest.
I’m truly sorry for depriving my wife’s grandparents of a toilet brush, for so horribly soiling the neighbor’s garden, and for likely letting a sick old man take the blame for my crime.
Sorry for everything.
TL;DR: I almost clogged the toilet at my girlfriend’s grandparents home, soiled the toilet brush and threw it in the garden of the neighbour.
