I forgot to give you all the latest toilet news...
First thing is I have finally figured out how to pee in a pit correctly! This sounds insignificant but being able to pee without fear of peeing on yourself is amazing.
Second, when we were at our home stay Jacqueline informed us that here baby had the short song when it was sleeping. It took about five minutes of explanation for us to finally understand what she was talking about because Kathrine kept distracting them by saying bathroom instead of toilet and bathroom is where they wash themselves here not where they do their business. Short song mean pee (so the baby wet its pants) and long song means poop. It was making me laugh because when we were helping them sweep up twigs and leaves they kept saying "watch out for the long song of the dog! Don't get it on your hands." Haha.
That's so adorable. I want to start using those bathroom phrases, though I think people would look at me like I'm a weirdo. Maybe I'll save that for an inside joke just between us. :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the toilet feat! On our trip, that was one of the least talked about but most obvious challenges to get used to. I remember Kristyn walking into the room on about the third or fourth day and saying.. "Okay.. this might be a weird question, but has anyone pooped yet!?!" Privacy is hard to come by when you're in a big group, so it was nice comic relief for an awkward topic. Annnywayyy glad to hear you're settling in and hope ALL is going well!
We talk about bathroom issues all of the time :]
