from age 5 to age 17 used outhouse every summer, all summer longâŠafter age 7 my folks just left me down at little beach house all week long alone while they worked in city, about 20 miles awayâŠnearest phone was 1 mile walk, (now best buddy is Keith, lived next door, and we slept in his boy scout tent on cots, and his mother stayed all week too) great times, and yeah, to pee you donât use outhouseâŠand by the way to clean a New England outhouse was to throw lobsters in in the summer to eat everything during the winter and youâd have big lobsters to eat all next summerâŠthis is why used to be called âpoor manâs dietâ
Had a grandson that couldnât understand why he could relieve himself when they were out hiking in the woods but not in the backyard. After all, he stated, here were trees in both places. My daughter finally got him to understand there are things he can do in the wild but in in town/backyard.
I donât know of any male in rural areas who, working outside, hasnât gone behind the barn to do a number one â where the only thing you have to worry about is Google Earth.
Years ago Iâd see my next-door neighbor guiding the youngest of her three boys to use the sapling in her front yard (no bushes available). I figured she had two alternatives: Either take the little one inside while leaving the two slightly older guys alone in the front yard on a busy street, or take all three inside. Using the tree was a lot less fraught than either of those.
A fellow mail carrier who lived on a route I had a couple years ago has a son who had a very similar philosophy. He was about 4 and I caught him going in the bushes as I was walking up to deliver the mail. They live on a fairly busy street too.
A long time ago, I was in line for one of the rides at Disneyland, the Matterhorn I think. We were still about two hours to the ride, so about halfway through the line. You know. Anyway, in front of my group was a family with a young boy. He had to tinkleâŠwhat do you think dad did? âLook! Thereâs a tree right next to the line.â They weâre in just the right spot. The tree was in the bordered area between the line and the mountain. Easy to tuck in there and do his business. I was equally grossed out and jealous. :)

I have heard that women notice the smell more than men do.

What is a little disapproval by gurls against all the benefits of being a Hammie?

Think of how many times you have hidden in that bush while playing hide and seek.

I always wore a shirt, mainly to wipe the sweat off of my face. Never cared for going shirtless, except at the pool, of course.

This is definitely worth informing mom about.

This is very true. A big advantage to being a boy. At any age.

Just make sure you use different bushes, or youâll burn them.

The advantage might shift a bit when the boy becomes a senior citizen and suffers prostate enlargement.
