Granny in the Toilet
What Granny's toilet might have looked like.
When I was a little girl and visiting my Great Granny, all there was to use was an out house…..or at night under the bed was these pretty crock bowls called PeeCans! Well, one beautiful sunny morning during a summer visit, I heard this loud noise followed by the screams of my Great Grandmother……several of my aunts ran out to see what the commotion was about….
{First you gotta understand that this was a rather large robust woman}….well, upon opening the door of the OUTHOUSE….all you could see was feet sticking up in the air swinging back and forth in the air. It seems that when she went out to relieve herself…she had climbed up on the side of the seat to clear some cobwebs and fallen head first into…well, you get the picture and was now stuck head down into heaven only knows what and was stuck.
My aunts called an uncle and they managed to get her unstuck, but out came a sight that I’ll never forget….to this day I am thankful for indoor plumbing away from bugs, smell, cobwebs and the like. My Great Granny used to laugh that it took a tomato juice bath to finally get rid of the awful smell in her hair and on her body. Also, from then on..she never tried to do any climbing. When I ride by her old home place now the house and OUTHOUSE are all torn down and gone….they are finally a thing of the past, but I’ll never forget my great Granny and the spunky woman she was.
