Especially when it’s cold, the Rockstars have been spending more time in the warm tub. Sometimes, it’s a deep sea grotto, and they’re diving for gems and coral, sometimes it’s the latest installment of Masterchef. They also conduct Christmas bauble races (you coax floating baubles along with wooden sauce spoons – this only works wit baubles that float, the Miss would like you to know) or else you even have your own band – an egg whisk can be either a guitar or a mike (needless to say, they’re way too loud with this one.)
But, our story goes, on one such day when I’m making a simple pasta, I need the pasta/salad server, only to discover it has already been set aside far out of the Miss’ reach.
“She was combing our hair wayyy too much with it,” shrugs Rockstar. “So you can definitely have it for the food…”
Exploring Rockstars
ps: Their tub times are clothed, they both wear something when in the tub together, nowadays. So call me a prude 😛Â
Re the clothed thing — then that’s not bathing! 😉
Re the prudishness: hmmm, think you’re Westernised. 😀
You know it! One Korean friend of mine did draw my attention to the Japanese (and also Korean?) public baths… but I think one big difference is how very polite those two cultures are in general, and how erm, “prudish” or “proper” they are already, BEFORE little kids of different sexes go unclothed (and I mean that in a very good way! – Rockstar learned the word and concept of “inappropriate” sometime ago, from a classmate in school who is half Japanese and hangs around his older sister’s friends a lot….)
It must be so fun to play in the bath tub. I see they wear goggles too to do some under water activities. 🙂
Yes yes but there are some tiny “risks”… the water has to be quite clean (on the one hand pools have chlorine, on the other, they have chlorine :P) especially when they start rubbing their eyes and stuff… It’s useful for their skin though, especially Rockstar’s (and he hates applying lotion) – I put baby bath oil in the water, which is why it looks a little murky…
