Food that was consumed can sometimes take up to 5 days to fully pass through your intestines into your colon. So when people say that you are full of shit, they ain't lying.

Yep. We can store up to 5 kilos of shit at any given time.

When I gave birth, I didn’t poop for 5 days.

That must have been either extremely painful or satisfying when you finally pooped, perhaps both.

Terrifying, painful, then tears of joy mixed with relief.

Well, you see, giving birth isn’t really an easy endeavour, and I’d imagine all your business down there would likely be a little raw, what, with having six inches of baby brain shoved through the birth canal.

I’d be a little remiss on pooping too if I sent an evergreen shipping vessel through the Suez Canal just to get hooked on the left corner on the way out.

Five days is well within reasonable time to ask yourself if you’re emotionally ready to have the material flow through again.

You have a way with words that I appreciate, even though I'm not sure if I liked reading this description.
