Tie a Rubber Band Around It

When I was a kid, still living at home, I can remember times when we were traveling as a family, all ten of us, Mom, Dad and their eight progeny, and having to take make water.  Now, this is no big thing you know, unless each kid needed to use the facilities at a different time.  There was no way this was going to happen.  Multiple stops just weren’t feasible when you were traveling with a Vista Cruiser full of kids, gear and what not.  The title to this post is what my Dad, and Mom, would tell us boys, and there were six boys, if the bathroom thing got out of hand.  Well, I wish I would’ve known the following at that time.  I maybe could’ve sued my parents.

"But some parents say… The right to go to the bathroom, they say, is a health and civil rights issue and as taxpayers, they think it is a freedom they pay for."

From an article titled “Parents attack bathroom policy."

I cannot quote any more from the article.  The absurdities contained within have caused me to need a cold beer.  I’ll make sure my bladder is drained prior to enjoying it.
