Bathroom topics

Ever since we had boys and they started potty training, Dan has been unofficially in charge of teaching the intricacies of "standing up to pee". He was well taught by his father to do things like clean up after oneself (ie mop up the dribbles) and put the seat back down (I cannot thank my father-in-law enough for that one). So last night, Reece was getting into position and Dan reminded him to aim. Apparently, Reece is nearly fully recovered from his illness, because his response was to give Dan a smirk and then purposely put his hands behind his back. Dan reiterated the command as Reece continued to do as he pleased, and then once he was done, he actually did a little dance and sang, "I don't have to listen to Daddy...I don't have to aim". I, of course, had a hard time not laughing, and Dan had a hard time keeping the steam from coming out of his ears.

I am all for saving energy, but I think my place of work has taken things too far. The lights in the women's bathroom are now on a motion sensor. However, apparently they are not sensitive enough to detect small movements, and they are also set to very short time intervals. The result of which is that if only one person is in the bathroom and not moving much for about 15 seconds, the lights turn off! Then said person must waive her arms or make some other silly movement to get them to turn back on. I just hope there are no cameras tied into the sensors...
