Subject: Mother's little helper

Someone above mentioned glycerine suppositories. Mom calls them mother's little helpers. I'll never forget that look in her eye when she'd say 'I think you need one of mother's little helpers.' Only I never got one, I always got two at the same time.

My mother called them a torpedo. That was back in the 1940s a long time ago. I think the war made people think of things like torpedos back then. When a torpedo didn't work, or was judged not good enough for the task, I was told it was time for a bum bomb. When my own children needed something I simply told them it was a suppository, and if they needed more it was enema time.

Tall blue bottle with a screw on metal cap that contained a dozen long, thin, pale white sticks of glycerine. A full bottle was good for six sessions as I always got two. One well up in place, the other only half way in.
