Sorry for the visual but (no, not visual butt, though the unintended pun is rather funny) -- anyway, recently I was about to sit down on a cold toilet, though it wasn't as cold as expected and thought, "At least it's not an outhouse," which brought back a memory I probably haven't had in 40 years (strange how that happens, huh?)
Am I the only one from my generation who remembers the outhouse at the farm, say nothing about remembering using it? I know the older generation will. So as strange as it seems, I'm asking for people's memories of an outhouse.
The other recollection that occurred to me, though I'm uncertain of it now, is that as kids we had to use the outhouse, whether that was only if the bathroom inside was "busy" or whether it was that that bathroom was off limits to us kids. The latter wouldn't necessarily surprise me because my grandfather had ways like that; for example, nothing to drink with dinner until your dinner was finished.
So any memories you'd like to share would be greatly appreciated -- memories of freezing your ass off, was it a one-seater or two, etc.
