not to gross anyone out...
but a large topic of discussion in my apartment recently has focused on wiping.
no not windshield wiping, but wiping. you know what i mean.
previous discussions on wiping only went so far as the debate on crumpled vs. folded toilet paper, but these new talks have gone so far as to involve demonstrations and power point presentations (okay, so maybe not the latter).
it was sparked by my recent acquisition of the factoid that women should wipe in a front to back motion to prevent fecal matter from entering the urinary tract and causing infection. after much discussion, andrea and i have decided that this method of wiping, though better, is definately more awkward, for a variety of reasons that do not need to be broadcasted on the internet. it's going to take some work and getting used to, but i think we've decided to try and change our ways.
i learned a lot from these talks. my newfound knowledge includes...1) men have NO CLUE what women do in the bathroom. there were looks of amazement and shock when we described and demonstrated our wiping techniques, and 2) andrea and i wipe from different ends. can you believe we've lived together for 3 years and didn't know??!?!?
now that i have sufficiently given you more information that you will ever want to know, i'll sign out.

it's true... guys probably do not know why the hell we spend so much time in the bathroom. i think it is because so much conversational time is spent talking about THEIR POOP. why is this such a fascination for them? i have learned that there is actually a website for guys who like to look at poop.
sigh.

Some guys do knon a little... Wipe direction is part of basic (re-)training of parents with kids of both sexes. One answer does not fit all...
