A doorbell camera captured a young girl hilariously sharing the intimate details of her mother’s colonoscopy preparation with her friends.
In September, Brandi Lister, 41, of Iowa, prepared for her first colonoscopy — a common procedure in which doctors look inside the colon and rectum to check for cancer.
The night before, patients must take a laxative that forces them to “clean out their bowels,” according to the Cleveland Clinic, which usually involves many trips to the bathroom.
Brandi’s laxative was already working when two friends of seven-year-old daughter Emma knocked on the door and asked if they could come in and play.
But the youngster explained that her mother was “pooping like crazy,” and her comical interaction was captured on the doorbell camera.
“My mom’s home, but she’s going to poop like crazy, okay?” Emma could be heard telling her two friends in the clip as they both burst out laughing.
‘Stop it, it’s not funny. She needs surgery when it’s over, it’s not funny at all,” she added.
“I can’t stop laughing,” one of the boys admitted.
