The hard truth behind the bathroom door
by Matilda Steen -06
"Dad, can I go first?"
Harry was interrupted by his fifteen year old daughter Sue. He was just about to close the bathroom door, when she appeared in it.
"Please, I really need it!"
Harry could tell she was, because her legs were so crossed that a snake would seem stiff.
"Okay then." he said and let his daughter past, who closed the door quickly behind her.
Two minutes went by before Harry heard the toilet being flushed.
Sue's freckly face appeared in the door. She had long, red hair and brilliant green eyes, which made her look like the splitting image of her grandmother.
She smiled and gave him a kiss on his cheek before going out to the kitchen.
"Thanks dad, I won't take long!"
All Harry saw was the back of a blonde haired girl as she swished past him and in through the bathroom door.
"You're welcome Rosie!" Harry shouted ironically through the door to his next oldest daughter. "But please, can I at least get my coffee?"
"No!" Rosie shouted.
Harry turned around to see Isobel, his oldest daughter who was seventeen years of age. She was standing with her arms crossed, staring at him with the brown eyes, she'd gotten from her mother.
"Don't tell me your coffee's in there?"
Harry nodded.
"You may be the boy who lived and everything, but that's just too disgusting. Even for you!" Isobel said and rushed past him so her red hair swirled in Harry's face.
"Why's it so disgusting and don't call me the boy who lived. That was along time, it's all in the past. I've forgotten all about it!" Harry shouted.
"What ever you say dad!" Isobel answered.
Flushing was heard and out from the bathroom came Rosie. She handed Harry his coffee cup.
She looked at him with her big brown green and she smiled.
"I hate to break it to you dad, but it's a toilet. People actually pee and poo in there." Rosie said and nodded at him, before joining her mother and sisters.
"I know it's hard," Sue shouted out from the kitchen. "But it's the truth. You just have to deal with it and maybe not bring your coffee cup in there."
Harry laughed at his daughters, making fun of him and he took a zip of the coffee.
Where the coffee actually had been made Harry think again and he poured it out in the zinc.
The End
