In the town 20 minutes away named Helensville there is a block of smart loo's. You know the ones where they welcome you and prompt you then play music while you refresh yourself. They also have the auto flush, wash your hands and dryer. So what! you say?
Well, Renata decided he needed to use the bathroom so we (Renata, Rakaipaka and I) headed for the smart loo. As Renata made himself comfortable it was up to me to entertain Rakaipaka while Renata hummed to the music playing ahead. Now what could you amuse a 1 year old with in a public toilet - yeah I know I cringe too - well the dryer seemed a great choice. It was cold and I was sure Rakai would be grateful for the warm air on his little fingers. He was just warming up to the noise when we heard a mightly flushing sound and the door flung open! Renata's eyes went really big and he jumped off the toilet.. Glad for my fast reflexes I shut the door and realized that when you use the hand dryer in the 'smart' loo it thinks your finished! I tried soooo hard not to laugh hysterically at what had just happened. I am such a bad mother!! With a few stiffled giggles, I patted him down and placed him back on his throne to finish. I repeatedly apologised to my son, (trying not to smile, though I really was sorry) and he said with a really serious face, "That was funny, ay mum."
BEWARE OF THE SMART LOO!!!!
(Yes Eliza I struck again, but this time not on purpose!!)
