So I'm at a Chinese New Year event and I'm standing in line for the bathroom. It's crowded of course, so I take the first stall I see open. Now, I want you to close your eyes and imagine with me if you will for a moment. Because suddenly I'm in a bathroom with just a hole in the ground. That's it, just a nice little hole with very nice tile all around it. I am dumbfounded and just stand there looking at it. What am I supposed to do with this?
Suddenly, Slumdog Millionaire comes to me. Didn't I see something like this in that movie?? And it hits me, like the ignorant American that I am, that you're supposed to squat over the damn thing, like a 3 year old watching ants under there feet. Yep, squat just like that.
Needless to say, I left that particular stall and waited for another, as people quietly laughed at me. Silly American you could practically hear them say. But you know, I'm just going to have to be ok with that.
Anyway, it got me thinking. What do you do if your legs are tired? What if you're wearing pantyhose? What if you have a tender sprained ankle and squatting like that will put you in excruciating pain? I guess you just hold it.
Hilarious! And I would have done the exact same thing. Miss you!
