A couple of Saturdays ago I had all the grandsons over. It was a pretty day so they headed out to the back yard. I didn't hear from them for awhile and then seven year old Caleb and four year old Gibby came in the house. Caleb said (without any r's), "Granny Girl, do you have a basket with a handle or a bucket that we can use so we can achieve success with our zipline like we did with our outdoor bathroom?" Now, two things jumped out at me. First, how on earth does a seven year old know how to use the phrase achieve success? Second, an outdoor bathroom?
I asked about this outdoor bathroom, and Caleb gave me the skinny on it. He said (without any r's), "Evan thought it up, me and Gibby brought him the bricks, and Evan built it." And then Gibby stuck out his chest and said in his always loud voice, "I tried it out and it works!"
I found the perfect basket for them and headed outside to see this architectural wonder. Sure enough, they had achieved success with their outdoor bathroom.
Did you notice it has a doorway? And, it has a lovely arrangement of green leaves around the "toilet."
While Gibby was posing proudly by the bathroom he had tested, the other two guys were busy achieving success with their zipline.
Boy world. What a great place!
