Some of you may remember the Benning family classic story of one trip to Yosemite. I am not the best person to tell this story as I wasn't really there, but I have heard the story quite a few times. In this particular adventure, the family was on the shuttle from the cabins to the actual lifts. They were all chating it up, having a grand ol' time when one of the other passengers says "uh, busdriver...I think there's someone stuck in the bathroom". Turns out, it was Kimberly, trapped in the bus bathroom.
Well something similar happened on the plane today. I was sitting pretty much in the middle of this family with three girls, the oldest was probably 16 and the youngest 6ish. The littlest one heads off to the bathroom and a few minutes later, we hear a knocking coming from the bathroom. Sure enough, the girl had locked herself in.
I'm beginning to wonder if they should do something about this?

y'know how they always do those little seatbelt and oxygen mask tutorials at the beginning of a flight? maybe they should do a small segment on proper bathroom locking technique.
ReplyDeleteumm ashley, good idea...but i think proper bathroom technique was already covered in Thomas Paine's Common Sense.
ReplyDeleteThe funny part of it was that Kimberly didn't actually have to go. The way she tells it, she was just interested in what a bus bathroom was like. I remember seeing Kimberly getting up and walking to the back and after about 8 minutes this weird hippie guy in the back says, "Uh, driver, I think there's someone stuck in the bathroom." I knew immediately it was Kimberly. We had to pull over and the driver walked back and unwedged the door. A very red and sheepish looking Kimberly came back up to her seat.
ReplyDeleteLauren - I consider that one of our most precious Yosemite bonding moments. "Uh...driver???" Glad Laura brought it up - it's always a fun memory!!
