I haven’t taken a bath in 30 Years — showers rule, baths drool.

I grew up in an old house with an exposed tub. Even today, I use our tiny guest shower. I want layers of steam and plexi-glass hiding my lady bits.

As I pondered my anti-bath sentiments, a memory resurfaced.

“Baaaaathtime!”

My older sister corralled me into the bathroom like a defiant lamb.
