Bathroom Humor

On our way over to the coast to visit Jim and Mary, the kids and I stopped at a rest stop for the usual reasons (running around like maniacs and a visit to the bathrooms). We found a nice, big handicap-enabled stall that accommodated all three of us quite nicely. Apparently Larkin and Finn had not encountered an auto-flush toilet before. It flushed while Finn was still on it (we theorized that it was confused by lightweights) and a great deal of shrieking and giggling over the foolishness of a toilet that thinks it should flush while occupied ensued. There was repeated hilarity when it did the same thing to Larkin. When I was done, there was more giggling and chattering and speculation about when it would flush again.

When we left the bathroom, which had been unoccupied when we entered, we discovered a little old lady with a walker waiting for her turn with a great big grin on her face. She announced: "Boy, I haven't been this excited to use a bathroom in many years... it sounds like a great one!"
