How much time can one man spend in the bathroom?

Apparently quite a bit. By my calculations it goes something like this:

4 x .75 (3/4 hour) = 3 hours per day
3 hours x 7 days = 21 hours per week
21 x 52 = 1,092 hours PER YEAR!

That is astonishing. How much time is spent pooping? Reading? Picking cuticles?

The closed, locked bathroom door with a crack of light coming from the bottom of the door is a common, common sight in our house.

Even the divas are great at commenting on the phenomenon. "Where's Daddy?" I ask.
"He's pooping," they reply with complete seriousness.

This morning, hubby pointed out that Diva #1 has begun reading on the toilet. She also farts and laughs, burps and blows...all those joyful things that hubby finds so funny. If she gets married one day, she and her hubby will get along great.

Oh, and if anyone is interested, the literature of choice in our home for bathroom reading is "The Bottom Line" ( www.bottomlinesecrets.com ).
