Эшли Пайпер - Грязная правда. Уберись на планете или убирайся с нее

Задумайся на минутку о настоящем назначении ванной комнаты (в большинстве домов Америки санузлы совмещенные – прим. ред.). И пусть моя откровенность в этой книге не вводит тебя в заблуждение – на самом деле я не люблю обсуждать, чем люди занимаются в своих ванных комнатах. Точнее, ненавижу. Возможно, это единственный пробел в моем довольно утонченном воспитании в лучших традициях американского Юга, но я определенно не из тех девушек, чье сердце можно растопить непристойными туалетными шуточками на первом (или семнадцатом) свидании. Тем не менее, как и в случае с любой комнатой в доме, необходимо определить ее основную цель. Ванная комната предназначена для того, чтобы опорожняться (и, если уж быть до конца честными, попутно сидеть в телефоне), чтобы расслабляться и отмокать в ванне, чтобы купать детей и/или домашних животных (если они есть) и осуществлять общие гигиенические процедуры. Конечно, иногда ванная используется для караоке в душе или пылких любовных утех. Но, если ты не живешь реконструкцией фильма «9½ недель», я очень сомневаюсь, что тебе так уж необходима скамейка для секса в этой комнате.
