in my father's house there are many mansions - can I have my own bathroom?
When I grow up, I want my own bathroom.
- I think I will paint it purple and have flowers in it.
- It will be warm and it will smell, well, nice! It will not cause one to wrinkle one's nose and wonder, what is that smell? And where is it coming from?
- It will not have children's toothpaste smeared on the counter.
- It will not have cheeto fingerprints on the light switch, peanut butter fingerprints on the door handle, or some strange unidentified substance on other surfaces and walls.
- One will not have to do a check of the potty and its surroundings for evidence that small boys have been frequent visitors.
- One will not have to lock up one's toothbrush to keep it from be "cleaned" in said potty.
- Nor will one have to extract "like a zillion pounds" of toilet paper from said potty following some sort of experiment to find out exactly how much said potty could take before it flooded the bathroom.
- One will not have to keep a separate storage facility for things that would typically be found in the bathroom, but because of small explorers and destroyers must be kept off-site. You know, like mascara.
- I will not be embarrassed for anyone to visit my bathroom, except that maybe I left my hairdryer out (because it would also be allowed to be, gasp, dare we say it? INSIDE the bathroom)
- It will not be invaded within 30 seconds of occupancy by any person yelling "Mom?!? Where are you?"
- One will not have to empty bath toys and other paraphernalia out of the shower before using it, trying not to drip last night's now cold bathwater on one's half-asleep early morning self.
- The toilet tank will not do that sweaty toilet tank thing.
- The rug will not have to be washed on a daily basis to free it from the peril of dirty shoes, fruit snacks, art projects, and other side effects of childhood.
- It will be mine. And only I will be allowed to decide who comes in. If you're nice and don't violate it, you might make the list. Maybe.
