Monkeys and claw foot tubs

Not much room hmm that reminds me – I was talking to a friend today about bathrooms and growing up with a big family. That there were a lot of kids and friends in the house often at the same time. Then trying to explain the bathrooms I mentioned that often after returning from the backyard unregulated burn pit that I would walk by the monkey and bird….getting past that I explained the claw foot tub in the basement….next to the sump pump hole and that often we waded across puddles of water with extension cords in or near them connected to ancient freezers that may or may not have had frozen pets in them. Oh and that it was across from an old covered-up haunted well that was a couple step-ups from a bomb shelter with a wooden door. Then I tried to pull up a google image of a claw foot tub in an unfinished basement next to a sumppump near a bomb shelter and I broke google.
