conversations I did not expect to have more than once, bathroom edition:
- This is a laundry basket. The dirty clothes go IN the basket: not next to, not on top of, not near: IN.
- This is my comb. That is your comb. I do not like to share combs, which is why you have your very own.
- This is a toothbrush stand. The toothbrush lives there. Please put the toothbrush back after you have brushed your teeth.
- Fairies do not replace toiletries. A real live human must be alerted in order for your toiletries to be replaced.
- The shower is not self-cleaning. If there is anything on the walls when you are done with your shower, please rinse it off.
- This is a bath mat. The bath mat lives on the side of the tub. Please return the bath mat to its home after you have had your shower.
- This is a toilet. Again, the preposition is IN. Not ON or NEAR or NEXT TO: IN.
- This is a sink. It is for washing your hands. Wash your hands before you leave the bathroom.
- This is a towel. It is for drying things, including hands. Dry your hands after you wash them and before you leave the bathroom.
- This is a cat box. The cat needs access to it. Please do not close the door all the way before you go to sleep at night.
Hmmm. I've had that same litter box conversation more than once at our house too.
