i gotta take a dump

let's talk about #1 and #2 💦💩

no, not those numbers. the OTHER ones.

remember how I promised to unravel the mysteries of the universe?

if you don’t? nvm

just read on, you’ll know

well, today we're diving deep (not literally, ew) 🏊‍♂️

into the wild world of number 1 and number 2!

but first, a little about me: i am chelsi, your cco

(chief chaos officer)

and organized chaos?

it’s my brain dump it’s about finding the extraordinary in the ordinary

so buckle up, buttercup! it's potty talk time! (sorry not sorry)

so, why DO we call it "number 1" and "number 2"? 🤔

well, grab your time machine we're heading back to the 1800s!

🕰️🕰️🕰️🕰️🕰️🕰️🕰️🕰️

picture this: prim and proper (fancy way to say well-mannered) victorians

too embarrassed to say "pee" or "poop"

they needed a code 🕵️‍♀️ enter: numbers!

"number 1" for liquid gold 💛

"number 2" for, well, you know 💩

🕰️🕰️🕰️🕰️🕰️🕰️🕰️🕰️

but wait, there's more!

some say it's about duration:

quick pee = #1

longer session = #2

others claim it's about position:

standing = #1

sitting = #2

(what about squatting? 🤷‍♀️ #2.5?)

and get this:

In some old british schools "going for a number 3" meant vomiting! 🤮

(let's not make that a thing, okay?)

so next time nature calls remember: you're part of a grand tradition

of people too polite to say "i gotta take a dump" 💅🏼

and there you have it, folks!

your dose of organized chaos for the day

stay curious, stay weird

and always question the ordinary!

until next time,

keep embracing the chaos!
