So this month I have had a mortal enemy. It has caused a great amount of stress, tears, and strength. It's name is the "squatty potty". So at the beginning of the race I made a little pact with God. I ask that he could show me that he loves me by giving me normal western toilets. Well this pact lasted 7 great months, but I had to face my fears this month. Once while I was using the squatty potty and ranting in my head about how this is the worst invention ever I had a moment of realization. A little boy staying in our house went to use the other squatty and sang this song…..
Wow, this is the cleanest toilet ever
I love this toilet
I love this toilet
This is my favorite toilet ever
I had to get over myself fast…..It was such a moment of humbling. Here is a little list we made of things that you can do while in the squatty or tips you need to know to make it through!
1. Hold your breath during the hours of 12 pm to 4 pm or whenever the sun is the highest.
2. Shoes are required preferably with some sort of tread or you might break a hip or get some weird substances on you. Maybe both
3. Hold on to the door with only 1 hand because you need the other for multiple reasons.
4. Don't take extra items in the squatty or they will fall down the hole! examples flips flop, bug spray, shampoo
5. Check the floor and Door for cockroaches, then kill them!
6. there is no time to read the newspaper in there or your thighs will fall off.
7. Aim and position are very important for what you have to do in there, if not you will have a mess!
8. You think about all the different rap songs you can sing in the squatty that are appropriate for the situation.
9. Make sure you have a hand available to squat the giant fly and mosquitos away.
10. No matter how many times you use a squatty it never gets normal. Just because we are adaptable doesn't mean we like it.
11. Always remember……Wow, this is the cleanest toilet ever
I love this toilet
I love this toilet
This is my favorite toilet ever
