Where do you crap? Outside like a wild animal?

The pots obviously. They're called chamberpots for a reason. The kid keeps breaking them instead of cleaning them out however. All because he found a couple rupees once that had fallen in while I was doing the deed. Well, I knew they were in there, just wan't worth trying to retrieve them, ya know? I tried telling him he can get the rupees if he cleans them out too. But he didn't listen to that either. I replace the chamberpots as soon as he leaves, but he just comes right back and breaks them again.

And he wonders why we are poor and his mom is gone.

in the outhouse.

indoor plumbing didn't become widely available until after WW1, and it wasn't until after WW2 that it was universal.

That's what my grandmother and I used for the first 5 years of my life. For toilet paper we used the Sears catalog. (this was in the early 70's, the catalog came mostly similar to newspaper except the middle 10 pages or so were the glossy color ones which do not work for that purpose.)

It really wasn't bad, except in the winter. Canadian winters and outhouses are a special experience... you did not dawdle when on one of those missions.

Probably also worth mentioning that the Sears catalog was huge. Like not quite phone book thick but still a couple hundred pages.

It's called an outhouse, yet you go in it? Curious.

In your hands, then out the window. Just like the French!
