There are so many things in this life that I don’t understand. Now, you probably think you know where this is going. Well, spoiler alert, this blog post isn’t about to get all philosophical or deep. It’s all about one thing: peeing. 

Now, I understand the works of the body. That’s not the direction this is going in. This all has to do with kids and weird things they do. The number one thing that I don’t understand kids is this one little weird habit. Working with a different group of kids each week this summer has been a joy. I’ve loved (almost) every minute of it. The kids I’ve been working with this year have been so extraordinary. So unique. So sweet. But so, so strange. 

One habit that I’ve noticed, no matter the group of kids, is that they have no problem eating off of the floor. I get it. The five second rule is a big deal. I literally ate a piece of food off of the floor yesterday. (Isabelle Vinelli can attest to it. She saw the whole think happen.) However, they will leave their food items on the floor for multiple minutes before returning to them to eat it. 

I have never done this. 

Never. 

Not even as a child. 

Once I was able to understand germs, my food never went onto the floor again. Nope. We put our feet on the floor and I would never feed myself a sandwich using my feet. 

However, something I’ve never had an issue with was going to the bathroom. If someone didn’t flush? No problem, I’ll pee on top of it and flush it down with mine. You know why? Because it’s all going to the same place.

You know what kids these days don’t do? 

PEE IN A STALL OR A TOILET THAT HASN’T BEEN FLUSHED YET.

Children will literally EAT off of the floor, but they REFUSE to use toilets that haven’t been flushed? They also REFUSE to flush said toilets so they can use it?????

I DON’T GET IT. 

If I had a dollar for every time I have told a camper to flush a toilet then use it or why they weren’t using the open stall, I wouldn’t need to work this job in the first place. 

I have a week and a half left of camp, and I don’t understand why. 

They can eat food from the floor. 

Okay?

But they can’t flush a toilet that someone else used.

WHY?

The pee will not jump out and get you. It’s less dirty than eating your food off of the floor?

AND YOU KNOW WHAT?

You are literally going to flush a toilet, do the same thing that the person did in the toilet before you, and then flush the toilet again. And then.................

wait for it....................

WASH YOUR HANDS!!!

Someone, please. If you’re reading this... tell me why kids are the way that they are.

Why can’t they flush toilets.

Why do they eat food from the floor?

WHY CAN’T THEY FLUSH A FREAKING TOILET?

Okay. I’m done. 

I hope you enjoyed this post.
