January 8 marks National Bubble Bath Day! Here’s how parents can carve out some cherished “me time” to celebrate this special occasion:
Step 1:
Politely inform your household to give you some peace and quiet because you’re about to enjoy a bubble bath.
Step 2:
Spend a few moments removing every plastic toy cluttering the bathtub.
Step 3:
Discover that several of these toys harbor moldy water; take them to the kitchen to disinfect.
Step 4:
Head back upstairs only to find a child in the bathroom with a bit of a situation—quickly evacuate because, wow, what did they eat?!
Step 5:
Brace yourself for a barrage of 1,200 questions from your inquisitive toddler.
Step 6:
While the bathroom airs out, decide to toss in a load of laundry.
Step 7:
Go back to the bathroom, searching for bubble bath while attempting to freshen the air with Febreze. To no avail.
Step 8:
Scour your bedroom in hopes of finding an old bottle of bubble bath that your partner gifted you ages ago.
Step 9:
Return to the bathroom only to realize your son forgot to flush. Take care of that and light a few candles.
Step 10:
Open a window for some fresh air.
Step 11:
Suddenly smell smoke and rush downstairs to find your tween burning a Pop-Tart in the toaster.
Step 12:
Prepare a new Pop-Tart and establish a 30-minute safety rule forbidding anyone from cooking, leaving the house, or engaging in risky activities.
Step 13:
Back to the bathroom, grab the bubble gum-scented no-tears foaming soap, and use it to create some bubbles—you’re determined to take that bath!
Step 14:
Respond to another 75 questions from the toddler following you upstairs.
Step 15:
Finally, banish all children from the bathroom, undress, and step into the tub.
Step 16:
Exit the tub after just 90 seconds because the laundry took most of the hot water and now you can hear the kids squabbling in the kitchen.
Step 17:
Jot down January 8 on your calendar for next year; you have grand plans for a proper celebration next time!
