Cathartic (adj.)

I was sitting and posting to this site the other day. Alannah says, "What are you typing?"

"I'm typing on the website."

"Do you like that?"

"It's very cathartic, sweetie."

"What's 'cathartic'?"

"Go look it up."

So, off she heads to the computer, looks it up and shouts back, "Uhhhhhhh, Momma, you're evacuating your bowels?"

"Well, I suppose that's one way of putting it."

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh, you meant the emotional purging."

"Well, yeah, but, same difference."
