It's true, as both young girls and adults no bath would be complete without accessories. And while meredith showered barbie dolls in da tub, I brought construction paper.
you think i'm kidding.
i'm not. in first or second grade i wanted to be a Turkey for Halloween. To accomplish this, I thought it best to take an actual bubble bath and bring in all the colored construction paper I needed in order to let it get soggy. My plan involved letting the paper soak so that it would become more malleable to turn into turkey feathers. Did I even know what "malleable" meant as a post kindergarten grad? It's one hundred percent doubtful..yet I was on a mission.
In the end, both the bubble bath and the construction paper-feathers SUCKED. The water started to smell and the paper stuck to me and I felt dirtier than when I got into the bathtub. In what was probably a fit of absolute confusion that this "plan" didn't work, I attempted to clean the tub and cover up my tracks...but mom was smarter than me and discovered that the paper had clogged the tub drain. My "punishment" : I wasn't allowed to watch The X-Files (my favorite television show) for 2 weeks.
With Easter on the horizon, Meredith and I will be taking bubble baths with pastel colored construction paper.

It's like fireside chats. Only in a bathtub. With bathing suits. And bubbles. And rubber ducks. And tubes of air.
