    When I was around 12 or 13 I was constipated. But, I didn’t know the word “constipated”. I complained to my mom that my stomach hurt and she asked if I was constipated. Blank stare. She rephrases it, “Have you had a bowel movement?” Still nope, didn’t know that one, either. A bit exasperated she blurts out, a bit mockingly, “Did you go stinky in the potty?”
