The plane landed in New Jersey. I checked into the hotel. I took a shower to wash off the travel grime. I shaved my legs.
Then. When I was done. I put the razor on the side of the tub and just casually left it there, because there were no kids with me who might get hurt. I figured if housekeeping played with it and got cut that was just going to have to be their problem.
Delicious ;)

Dude! You shaved your legs for us? That was so sweet, and entirely unnecessary.
It was great hanging out with you at Camp Baby. A highlight for me, you and your smooth-legged self.

LOL! Oh yes! I can totally relate to this! I have a suction hook that holds my razor WAY out of reach of little hands. Aside from the razor, it will be nice when I can leave the shampoo bottles in the tub without having to worry about my toddler dumping out them all!

I'm pretty sure I could have found a way to hurt myself with that razor. Not that you left it on MY tub, but I mean, if I had left it on my tub. Razors and I don't have the best history. Something to do with my inability to just SLOW DOWN, and not fidget while shaving.
