And then there's the issue of not only nearly falling into or landing on the cold porcelain bowl, but -- as my dad would say, "the boys (referring to my brothers) can miss the bowl, that's why we can't have a carpet in the bathroom" -- one may also have to tip-toe around on a cold ceramic tile floor in the dark hoping to avoid tiny little puddles. :)
I lived with my dad and brothers (no sisters) from the age of 13 until college after my mother died suddenly and unexpectedly. My dad is actually a very organized engineering person (Chevrolet Engineering) and he put together a great living plan that seemed to work well enough for us. A great guy indeed!
