Going to the bathroom

it’s harder than you think…

Ugh…I have to pee. Like, really, really have to urinate. Just spent my entire lunch hour in a meeting. I have 30 seconds before the kids come in from recess.

Sprint to the bathroom.

Open bathroom stall. Ugh…pee on the seat. CHILDREN! Why do you pee on the seat?! Just wipe it off, quickly!

Frantically grab at the toilet paper, and watch as tiny dime size pieces tear off into small flakes of cheap tissue paper to the floor.

Hear faucet running at the sinks, have to pee even MORE.

Finally get a square off the roll, and the roll is now empty.

Rip open the stall, run to next stall. This toilet is full of feces. The next one is occupied, and the last one is also out of toilet paper.

Negative 30 seconds are left for the bathroom break I desperately needed. Kids are coming down the hall, I’m out of time. Next opportunity to use the bathroom = 2 hours from now.

This is the life of an elementary school teacher.
