What, you've never used one?

So, today was my class (gr 1) field trip to the Salmon Run at the Adams River. It was great. Most enjoyable. There were no major incidents and I think that all the kids and parent helpers had fun. That's what matters.

Anyhow, I have one funny incident from the day. I was taking two girls to the washroom (porta-potties) on site. We went to the huge line-up of potties and the girls went in. These are the men/women ones featuring sit-down toilet and urinal.
Ooohhh, high class. Anyhow, my little sweetheart went in, did her business, and came out happy.
"Madame," she said. "They even have soap right there for you to use!"
"Wow," I said. "C'est super!" (Meanwhile, I'm thinking... "these are some sweet porta-potties to have a little sink inside!)

A parent went in after her.

"Ummm... Madame?"

"Yes?"

"That's not soap!"

Ohh brother... wash your hands well, now sweetheart.
