A father's guidance...


I recall a time when we were living in a duplex at 3831 Findlay lane in Longmont Colorado. I think I must have been around 6 or 7 years old at the time. It was a relatively small house and there was a bathroom located between the dining room area and living room. I remember one time I used the restroom and whatever 'actions' or 'functions' I carried out in there apparently must have been heard through the thin hollow door.

When I came out my dad told me to turn on the fan next time so that "people can't hear what you're doing in there". To this day, when I go to use the restroom either to go number 1 or number 2 I always turn on the fan.

At lot of kids who grew up without dads missed out on this type of guidance.

Barry told me the same thing the first time I used his bathroom in Gulfport. Since they don't have a fan in there, I just make fan noises with my mouth. I am pretty sure people still know what I am doing in there.... but hey...it's their house.

I think Barry actually told you to use the garage bathroom. There's house people and there's garage people...
