A Second Bathroom Is Not Always The Answer

When you have only one bathroom, completing a visit uninterrupted by another household member wanting to make a pit stop is a rare occurrence.

But, with one household member asleep in bed and another immersed in the motorsports of the morning, I figured I was safe. After all, I can take a three minute shower when necessary and not feel cheated at all.

However, I had only just got the water running when I heard it - a soft tap,tap, tap on the bathroom door.
I turned the water off.

I admit that I muttered some unkind words and a bit of self-pity along the lines of and including, but not limited to : "Why can I not get just five minutes to shower in peace?!" Then I called out: "Who is it?"

No answer.

I turned the water on again and continued the common practice of lathering up when I heard it again.

Tap, tap, tap.

"Who is it? What do you want?"

"Meow".
