Danger-wee

[cosmolinguist]

Today was just one thing after another: work, with chores like laundry interspersed, then tidying the shed and putting the camping stuff back in it, then getting a haircut, then getting back just in time to help with the second half of dinner-making, then going with D to his girlfriend's house where we ended up going on a trek to find a new light bulb for her bathroom.

Her other partner overhearing the conversation about the need for a new bulb and coming into the room with us saying "We've been danger weeing for a few days now, haven't we love?"

We were able to find a light bulb of the correct size and fitting, and D sorted it out before we came home. The two of them were so grateful.

So for all my accomplishments of the day, the best might be that I've played a small part in preventing people from having to wee in the dark. Which is especially valuable when P is still on crutches!

I shall file "danger weeing" in my brain next to "secret wee" (the kind you don't know you need until you sit on the toilet - v useful for dealing with recently-toilet-trained children) and "bush wee" (what Bluey calls an emergency outdoor wee).

Ah yes, the secret wee check is a vital component of preparing to leave the house (works for all people who may be distracted from bodily signals).
