But the Emfire State Building was his second choice...


Our friend Abe ran into summer school this morning SO excited about his weekend trip.

"Mrs. Smythe, I was in NEW YORK CITY! Did you remember?"

"Yes, I did! How was the trip?"

He proceeded to tell us about the "very" boats, going to the top of the Emfire State Building, and the amazing hotel they stayed in.

"We stayed in a fancy hotel. It was super fancy!"

"So, Abe, was the the best part of the trip?" I asked, as is recommended in the teacher handbook.



"You wanna know the best part? I didn't even have to wipe my butt. The whole time! There was a little shower for your butt in the bathroom. It was the coolest thing ever."



And THAT is how I started my day. How about you?





(And if you are sending kids to elementary school in the fall, come on over and give me some love over here.

    My day started almost as well as this. How often does a woman get the oppotunity to punch her spouse in the arm for setting the alarm for 4:55 am and ignoring it?

    Oh wait, that wasn't unusual, except for the punching part.

    No matter where we take the kids, the ice cube machine in the hotel hallway always rates as the #1 attraction.

    Having 5 brothers, I can totally understand why not having to wipe your own butt would be the highlight of ANY trip.

    I've never used one of those. However, don't you have to to do something when you're done, or is it a drip dry kinda thing?

    I wanted to install a spray attachment in the shower but was over-ruled by my spouse.

    I never have any fun.

    We are about to embark on a bathroom remodel here at the kampground and I can only imagine what my kampers would do with a bidet ............. I am thinking that a lot of them don't wipe anyway, well, on the walls sometimes.

    Steven and I took the children to Paris last year and ever since Rex has insisted on keeping a squirt bottle of water next to the toilet to "cleanse himself." Suggest it to little Abe...

    It's true--I can't count the number of times I've felt that all of the pesky butt-wiping was just holding me back from realizing a vacation's full potential. This could revolutionize all future vacations! ;)
