It's Time to Pee

Well. It took us 3 hours to get from Las Vegas to Primm. Everyone in the car had to pee like their bladders were the size of walnuts. We discussed the many options for taking care of this situation. I suggested using the emergency lane but Harrison said no, it's illegal. And since he is in drivers-ed I guess that makes him an expert. I couldn't help but go through this scenario in my head. 1) Cop pulls me over. 2) I point to the seven people in the car who have to pee. 3) Cop writes me a ticket explaining that peeing is not an emergency. 4) Meanwhile whizz appears in all of our pants.

I suggested all sorts of options of where to put the pee. Like people could pee in Harrison's Nalgene water bottle. Or on the sage bushes the size of beach balls.

I wished we had a blue bag like the ones they provide at Timpanogas Cave if you get inside and have to pee. We discussed the time Ethan had to pee in one. And Anne remembered the time in fourth grade when her friend Theo had to pee in one.

Harrison suggested he could just pee out the window while we were driving. (Because that wouldn't be illegal at all.) He said that he has done this once before.

It started to rain which made Anne have to pee even more.

In the end, we waited 'til Primm where it was another 45 minutes of waiting in a line that wrapped around the gas station for a 1 stall bathroom.

Release never felt so good.
