She took care of the babies alone.
She tried to explain to the children that daddy had a disorder.
Until one day, the daddy drove himself to the hardware store and got wheels for his potty!
And voila! Now he could join his family for birthday parties!
He could read his daughter a bedtime story- "What exactly IS irritble bowl syndrome?"
And then he could lay down his tired head. Well, kinda.
Neither one was lonely anymore. And so what if they had to wear lotsa perfume to hid the stench, they were together.
Mommy even convinced him to do dishes.
And joined them on family outings
And they all flushed happily ever after.
