‘Twas Like A Fountain

Chris Hansen | July 2, 2008

Take a group of boys, ages ranging from five to eight.

Add water and Kool-aid.

Add snacks.

Add time.

Add fun stuff to do. Turn based, preferably, so the boys are waiting for their turn and don’t want to leave and lose their place.

So, now you have bladder pressure in a group of boys that are still somewhat unfamiliar with their own equipment that are motivated to ‘hold it’ so as to keep playing the game.

Can you see where I’m going with this?

Pressure finally triggers the ‘now’ switch and you’ve got one of the boys running in a race against his own bladder to see whether or not a change of underwear is required. When said house ape reaches his destination, accuracy isn’t at the top of his list.

Think fire hose at full blast without anyone inclined to hold it.

If you have all girls, you just don’t know.
