Just had to share this....
Just over a year ago my son was invited to a birthday party (big deal at our house as he rarely gets invited to anything....but I digress). The birthday child's house had a pool, and, as it was summertime, the theme was Pool Party. When the kids were getting out, they were to use the main bathroom to get changed, so I shepherded by son to the bathroom and waited outside while he went to the toilet and got dried and changed.
He was taking a while, so I poked my head in and called out to him to see if everything was alright.
"Muuuummmmm," he called. "I'm having trouble."
Oh no, thought I, quickly going in. Now this bathroom was the size of a king-sized master bedroom - I kid you not, with sauna, HUGE spa bath, CORRIDOR, the lot. So on turning a corner to where the toilet itself was, I found my boy standing next to the toilet, still in his togs, and looking puzzled. He was also bending down low, hands in a white basin which was next to the toilet and very similar in shape.
"I can't find where to wash my hands," he announced, obviously worried.
I wasn't at all surprised.
He was trying to wash his hands in the bidet.
Poor kid. I turned him around and showed him the hand basins (THREE OF THE BUGGERS) nearby, which he happily used. I explained to him what the "other" thing was and its purpose. He was mortified, to say the least.
Ah.....kids. They keep you entertained, that's for sure....
