We Didn't Know What We Didn't Know-Life Laughed
After more than 35 years in the classroom, we’ve retired from teaching-but not from telling stories. We’ve shared our favorite school-day tales, and now it’s time to turn the spotlight on us. These days we’re focused on growing older (but definitely not growing up). We still don't know what we didn't know, but you might pick up a life lesson or two-between the laughs.

We Didn't Know What We Didn't Know-Life Laughed
Colonoscopies Part 1-If You Don't Laugh, You'll Cry
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Retired Wisconsin teachers Lisa and Sue share a humorous conversation sparked by Lisa needing antibiotics before a dental appointment due to an artificial knee and Sue picking up her prescriptions, including a large colonoscopy prep jug.
They discuss the importance of colonoscopies, with Lisa starting screenings at 38 because her father died of colon cancer and continuing every 3–5 years depending on polyps, and mention people delaying or needing earlier screening.
In We Didn’t Know What We Didn’t Know (Life Laughed), these two decades-long friends swap tales about aging, dignity (or the lack thereof), medical misadventures, and why you should never take your clothes off at the dentist. It’s part cautionary tale, part public service announcement, and mostly laughter. They trade prep tips and mishaps: clear liquids, avoiding red drinks, using Gatorade/MiraLax or other preps, hydration to avoid dehydration, and recount vomiting and last-minute enemas and pregnancy tests, scheduling frustrations, and Lisa’s daughter doing prep on a show-choir bus.
They joke about medical specialties and pitch “procedure pants/colonoscopy chic,” then promise a part two.
