Sharing A Bathroom With Your Brother — Not Cool 15 Years Ago, Still Not Cool Today
Boys are G-R-O-S-S.
That is just the truth of the matter.
I know this, and I accept this, especially since I have a little boy of my own who can be quite yucky himself…
But I must draw the line of nastiness somewhere!
Stop teaching my son how to be gross!
After staying with my family in MD for a week now, I am beginning to have a hunch of where Isaac inherited his “ew” genes, and the culprit is my younger brother.
Greg is going to law school in Baltimore, and living at my parent’s home for the summer, so we get to relive our high school days where all the kids had to learn how to share a bathroom.
Granted it’s only 2 sibling now instead of 4, but it’s still tricky (and disgusting of course).
Here is a quick preview for you:
- I had to pee in the middle of the night and without checking the seat first I sat down…and almost fell in since the seat was up!
- After nagging Greg all day about that bad habit, the next night I went to use the bathroom again, saw the seat was down and happily sat…only to discover, too late, that there was pee on the seat!
- My brother, being the night owl that he is, tends to come in at all hours of the night, which would not be a problem if he could do so quietly…of course he stomps around, banging doors, turning on lights, and even occasionally singing!
- He eats ALL the food in the house, even stuff he knows is for Isaac, even stuff that is labeled specifically with a sticky note asking him to not devour it, like the raspberries and chicken nuggets!
- So stinky and smelly! My bro thinks he is allergic to deodorant, or at least that is his reasoning for not wearing any. So when he comes in from a run, or even fro work, look out!
- Greg gets very easily annoyed when Isaac fusses, and throws his own fit that puts my son’s to shame. The other day Isaac was whining at the table about not wanting to eat his veggies, and my brother exclaimed “Can’t you make that baby stop screaming? He is giving me a headache!” and stormed off.
- Ok, some of those were just silly but not that gross, so here is the #1 nasty thing EVER: I was missing my toothbrush the other day and since we are sharing a bathroom, I asked Greg if he had seen it, to which he replied that he had packed it for a weekend trip and had been using it since I got here. My toothbrush?! Why? I thought I might be sick when I realized we had both been brushing out teeth with the same brush all week! Blah!
Do you have any good and gross boy stories? Any age is fine, as I’m thinking boys will be yucky their entire lives (:
Oh, and I forgot to mention he also leaves his dirty underwear in the bathroom! Bleh! I am SO ready to have my own nice and clean bathroom again soon!
That is a very scary picture. Hopefully he doesn’t get hungry when holding a small and delicious baby.
Hi Emily,
Yes, I picked the scariest one I had, but interestingly enough every picture I have of Greg and Isaac involves Greg trying to devour my baby. Delicious as he may be, there will be no eating of one’s nephews! Keep that in mind, ALL of you (:
[...] youngest brother, of the gross bathroom habit fame, has always been a bit standoffish with Isaac, ever since he as born. No idea why, but that is just [...]
