bubble bathIt has been a long time since I sat in a tub of bubble bath. It has been a long time since I sat in bathtub. More of shower guy now but those days of bubble bath nights after a long day learning how to multiply and who Christopher Columbus was still resonate in my mind. In one of the houses I grew up in, my parent’s bathroom had a big Jacuzzi tub surrounded by a tile counter that for whatever reason attracted lady bugs. I loved hopping in the tub, squeezing huge gobs of bubble path underneath the running facet and watching as the clouds of tear free solution built up.

After the tub was filled, I’d grab a couple rubber and plastic boats and go hunting for lady bugs on the side. After catching a few into the boat they went where I sailed them around the sea of bubble bath. I don’t know why this memory is so vivid but it is and one that pops into my head every once in awhile. I wonder if the new owners of the house have the same lady bug problem upstairs.
