The boys’ bathroom at school is a total disaster. Some of the boys have trouble hitting the mark. This is mostly a sixth-grade phenomenon. The problem was exacerbated today when one of the seventh-grade boys returned from his trip to the restroom and proceeded to wipe his feet on the carpeted floor of the classroom. When I questioned his motivation for wiping his feet all over my floor – he informed me that the boys’ bathroom floor was sticky and he wanted to wipe his feet off.
It was pointed out to him that the sticky was created by the puddle of pee that had conglomerated around the base of the toilet. A chorus of ewwws resonated through the room and quickly touched off a wildfire discussion of pee etiquette for boys.
Some of the suggestions of the seventh-grade boys for better peeing technique:
- Toss in some Fruit Loops and have the sixth-graders “sink the ship.”
- Paint a big red X on the bottom of the toilet.
- Get a bigger toilet.
- Hold a seminar on how to properly aim for the bowl.
- Make them outside behind a tree.
The seventh-grade girls decided to try to name the disaster that is the boys’ bathroom. Some of their suggestions:
- Code Yellow
- Half life of Pee
- Weapon of Mass Destruction
- Gas chamber
- The pond
