A childhood belief about weeing and pooing

One boyfriend that I briefly had in high school told me that his sister once told him that girls don't shit. And he seemed to still believe that. I told him that was so stupid and that we all shit the same. He seemed so gratified that someone was finally willing to tell him whether his sister had lied or told the truth. It seemed to endear me to him so much. Before long he asked me if I'd show him that I shit. But that seemed silly and gross to me and was probably a factor in why we broke up. Knowing what I know now and having experienced all the dubious boyfriends that have come after him, I wish I HAD shown him that I shit. On the whole he's a vastly better memory than any later boyfriend!
