This is the Chinese toilet, which most people affectionately refer to as the “squatty.” Maybe you can figure out why? ACTUALLY, if you read about. . . the way you use this toilet (as opposed to western toilets) is supposed to be better suited for your “anatomy.” This is just awkward. . . so I’m moving on.
Last week, while we were traveling, I took Kylie to the restroom in a busy airport. “Squatties” aren’t known for being clean (but the picture below is super clean – that’s why I took it for you – I know you are so thankful). So, the toilet area was really wet. . . and the stall was very tight. I knew she was going to slip, and she did! She slipped right in while it was flushing, soaking her boot and pant leg. I cringed and screamed. Ha! Not a great mommy moment.
The next week. Different airport. Colt went in to go to the bathroom and yelled out, “Mom! I need some toilet paper!” Yea – most of the time it’s B.Y.O.T.P. (bring your own TP). He was hilarious. It was crowded, and when he came out to get some TP from me he said, “sometimes you guys gotta be real Mom.” He shrugged his shoulders, smiled, and went back in. He’s so funny.
If I ever say I am going to your area, remind me of the “squatties”. I haven’t squatted in years and would probably do like Kylie and fall and get my clothes and shoes wet. Thanks for taking the picture and letting us see what would be expected.
Yes, I understand how easily that can happen! Love to all!
This is so hilarious…And interesting. Love to hear about other customs, and truly admire you and David with your precious, young family, doing what y’all have been called for.
