  • When I was little my mum used to put both me and my sister in the bath, and we'd always take in a load of toys. There was also a soft flannelish whale that used to stick to the back of the bath so I wouldn't freak out from leaning against the cold sides, though most of the time I was chasing a wind up fish or frog around with a plastic dinosaur. Bubbles were also big fun :)

    I think it was mostly distraction techniques, while I was busy making myself look like pappa smurf in bubble form she'd attack me with a flannel. But since I had the choice (and the wind up toys were thrown away) I've taken to showers instead, I just feel safer standing up for some reason.
