Waking Up

You know how sometimes you wake up in the middle of the night, needing to use the restroom?

If you don't - you are in the Golden Years where you are neither too young, or too old, to know what I'm talking about.

Anyway.

When that middle-of-the-night bladder call comes, you stumble into the bathroom - eyes closed, of course, because you don't want to risk waking up.

You carefully feel around - eyes closed - to lift the toilet lid.

Then you sit and realize that you lifted the toilet seat instead of the toilet lid.

And that is when you realize that it would have been better to risk waking up by opening your eyes than to wake up by sitting completely inside the toilet.

Consider yourself warned. Learn by example, my friends. Learn by example.
