Just before I started writing the post before this one, a student from this evening’s Arabic class came up to the front desk and asked if I knew where the ladies room was. I smiled as normal, and leaned over to the edge of my desk to point to the bowl that holds the bathroom keys.
“Yeah, you just take that cup and you…” I paused, and glanced up at the student, who was standing with wide eyes and lips parted.
As she picked up the cup and turned it upside down we burst out into laughter simultaneously.
The ladies room key is attached by a string to the inside of 2 pretty paper cups. By no means was I asking her to relieve herself in the 9 ounces the cup provides, but I would have thought the same thing if I asked to use the bathroom and someone pointed at a cup xD
