I recently moved my large red poster that says “Keep Calm And Carry On” from my kitchen into my loo. I’m not sure why. It had begun to annoy me. Every time I looked at it provided yet another reminder that my life has gone just more than a little off centre and it had begun to provoke in me the opposite effect – more the “Now Panic And Freak Out” option.
But. What I hadn’t realised is that you have to be careful where you put it. Otherwise the advice can be misconstrued. I am going to have to move it again. It is clearly not working in the loo. My daughter told me that during a class at school her friend had pointed to the same poster on the wall – “OMG!!!!” she said “that’s the same poster that you’ve got in your loo!! I thought that was your mum’s special instruction on what to do when you’re having a poo!!!”.
Good grief.
Although, not bad advice for doing a poo.
I suppose.

Perfect advice for the first time you go after a c-sec though.
Although I chose instead to have complete collywibble and wail that my intestines splattered on the floor was imminent, as a very calm, mature alternative.

Hilarious.
Not sure if I like your advice for poos as I have the same advice on a t-shirt, which I wear to college.
Hmmm….thought it was good advice when dealing with difficult lecturers.
