- Yesterday I urged you to brush your teeth in the shower.
- In the past you were all told of my sunworshipping in the shower,
- and even my secret peeing in the shower.
- Socialise. Put a friend or relative on the toilet, or take them in the shower with you. Be sure to take a bottle of wine and some salami. Do not take crisps; they go soggy.
- Educate your children. Be prepared for the lessons to be about biology or personal hygiene.
- Write a novel. Hang a pad of paper above the waterline. Be prepared for the story to be about biology or personal hygiene.
- Ponder the major questions of humanity and make that Nobel prize winning breakthrough discovery. Be prepared for any great insight to be about biology or personal hygiene.
- Sleep, if you don't have a blanket. The water will keep you warm all night. Make sure to keep your head out of the water.
You're welcome.
Shower during labour, longest shower ever. But sooooo right.
ReplyDeleteYou missed out one or two major shower activities. Surprised at you!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant.
ReplyDeleteI need to buy a carbon credit, I too am an environment slaughtering nightmare. I bring once used plastic grocery bags to my day care so they can wrap individual stinky diapers in plastic to keep odors down during the day, ensuring further the already long life of that diaper. Take that, earth! I guess its a good thing I only bathe daily because I ought to or I'd also be wasting water like Mwa.
ReplyDeleteTry doing all of the above while having rubber ducks chucked at you - that's often the name of the game with my showers these days!
ReplyDeleteI just don't feel really clean after a bath like i do after a shower. In fact I always shower after a bubble bath. Let's save the planet some other way.
ReplyDeleteI so need to take notes and learn from you...oh CRAP master. All I ever do is clean the bath whilst having a shower. :(
ReplyDeleteMWA: did you know that peeing in the shower is actually quite common? Lots of people pee in the shower, but think it's a secret..
ReplyDeletethis is a brilliant post btw...
your intellect never ceases to amaze me.
LOL! what a bunch of funny CRAP :-)
ReplyDeleteIs it a continental thing? I remember staying in a flat in Germany and someone just walking in whilst I was in the shower, settling down on the toilet for a crap and starting a conversation. Quite disturbing for your average Brit.
ReplyDeleteI went away with a friend for the weekend (years ago) we stayed in a Motel, she snored for the two nights, I didn't sleep, she said she didn't sleep, huh, like hell. We came home I ran a bath, got in and fell asleep, but woke up when the water went cold. End of story.

I remember hearing something on the radio that if everyone would do their morning pee in the shower, thousands of gallons of water would be saved every day...
ReplyDeleteYour powers of reasoning are quite something. You are brilliant and extraordinary!
ReplyDeleteI tried the cleaning my teeth in the shower one, you're right, it's absolutely fantastic.
ReplyDeleteI could never brush my teeth in the shower. I'd sooner blow dry my hair in there.
ReplyDeleteI needed cheering up today and you've done it - thanks!

Here is my secret shower activity.
ReplyDeleteThe house we lived in when I was pregnant with children number 2 and 3 had one of those plastic cabinets that you open the door of and step into. It would steam up when I was having a shower, because the bathroom was always cold (Scotland...). So I used to write potential baby names on the steamed-up plastic door with my fingertip, to see what the name looked like. It's a very fond memory.
1. I am a big fan of singing and dancing: our shower doesn't hang up on the wall, it's one of those annoying ones that you have to hold the watering thing over your own head, whereby arms get tired and showering becomes tedious, however the showerhead makes excellent microphone, even if (a) the bathroom gets covered in water and (b) it's embarrassing when my husband catches me doing Wind of Change.
ReplyDelete2. Additionally, I find that my backside is wide enough that when I sit down showering in the bath, it forms a blockade and all the water gets stored behind me. Lift one hip, and the floodgates open. I can't imagine ever tiring of this.
Daughter writes me lovely 'I love you' messages in the steam on the glass. I like shaving my legs in the shower then watching the trickles of blood go down the hole...
ReplyDeleteThanks for these great ideas. Will put them into my schedule immediately.
