tacky!
I'm just kinda laughing at myself today. Of everything going on in my life, I'm just chuckling over putting a urinal in my basement. It's either really cool or extremely tacky. The thing is and with me there's always something, no?; it's what I'm planning on purchasing for the urinal which started me thinking about tacky.
To set the stage for this story, I'm gonna say for the ladies, this is an all-guy post and it's strictly a matter of plumbing, and yes, this is gonna be tack.
To set the story, here's another story. We were on a road trip to Canyonlands and my son had to go. I mean he really had to go. Being in the middle of nowhere in central Utah, with a few dirt roads here and there, I did what any dad would have done. I found a place for him to go.
My son being raised properly by his mother (had to be her, y'all know how I am) was sheepish about going au' natural. Well, it just so happened that I also had to go, so I went and I guess that broke the ice. That was the day my kid found out about peeing on stuff. He peed on a tree. Then every fifteen minutes he wanted to stop and pee on basically anything there was. For a minute, I thought he was trying to mark his territory. Just thinking about that cracked me up.
With the addition of the urinal, there will be other additions to the household inventory and as I thought about whether or not I'd need a screen or a urinal cake for the thing, I thought about guys in general and what to do. Do I buy the screen with the bulls-eye on it? Seriously, do I buy the urinal soccer game where you can try to score a goal? C'mon, guys... you know how guys are. Do I make the leap to completely tacky or just leave it at the borderline of either being a chic' forward thinker or just on the borderline of tacky?
And if I go that far, do I go all the way and buy the sign that says: "My aim is to keep this bathroom clean. Your aim will help."?
No matter what way I go, it's too late to turn back now. The thing is ordered, paid for, and shipped. It's going in. The accessories though, well, that's a matter for another day!
