Have you ever read the book, "Cheaper By The Dozen," the story of motion study expert Frank Gilbreth and his family of twelve children? (If you haven't, you really should.) As a pioneer in the field of efficiency, Gilbreth believed his home could be run as well as a factory and incorporated this efficiency into chores, homework, shopping and the family budget. He believed in utilizing every moment for learning experiences with activities such as painting the Morse code on the walls of their vacation home and requiring the children to listen to foreign language records when they were in the bathroom for what he termed "unavoidable delay."
It seems the administration at my daughter's high school has been reading this book, because they have employed their own passive learning exercise for times of unavoidable delay:
Yes, Toilet Talk. You heard it here first.
I suppose it could have been worse. instead of "toilet talk", they could have called it "chatting with john." or worse yet "the daily poop."
ReplyDeleteHow about "all the sh*t that's fit to print"?
DeleteMy daughter says she loves Toilet Talk. I'm thinking I might have to do a reconnaissance mission to the boys bathroom just to check....
ReplyDeleteI go in there all the time at preschool. In fact, I spend way more time in the boys bathroom than I do the girls, as little boys have a terrible time with the pulling up of both underwear and pants and the importance of doing them one at a time. I'll just march in the boys bathroom at the high school with the same confidence that I exhibit at preschool....
ReplyDeleteHow about "A thought for the pot"?
ReplyDeleteMWAHAHAHAHAA!
ReplyDeleteSo many jokes, so little time and energy...
ReplyDeleteYou must REALLY be tired to pass this one up.
