From Last Week:
A few of my students were talking about how cool it would be to go back in time. The following conversation is real. Because really? Who could make this stuff up?
Me: When?
Student 1: The Wild West.
Student 2: YEAH!
Me: pause You know, they didn't have toilets back then inside the houses.
Student 1 & Student 2 exchange awkward glances.
Student 1: In a hushed, horrified tone So if I had to poop?
Me: You'd go outside. Or in a bucket, maybe.
Student 2 wrinkles her nose. Student 1 looks more horrified, if it all possible. His eyes are now HUGE.
Student 2: Like, on the ground?
Me: Maybe the ground. Or in an outdoor toilet called an outhouse.
Student 1: I can't do that. I can't. I can pee outside, sure. But pooping OUTSIDE? No. Forget that.
And that, my friends, is the type of conversation that happens two minutes before the bell rings on a Friday.
Jealous?
It doesn't have a lot of trees, animals, or any big lakes, but it does have its perks. Sunshine every day and a daily forecast of warm or hot. This has two benefits. One, getting dressed is a snap. Two, every day is sandal day! Arizona isn't perfect, but it is where we are currently calling home. We are just two youngsters from the Midwest, trying to survive in the desert. And this is our story.
