ONE GREAT DAY IN SAN DIEGO


"Okay, so we're at the Four Seasons family pool. It's a very high-end hotel. And my youngest one has a little accident under one of the palm trees, right? We didn't have a swimming diaper on him. I look around for something to wipe up with, but there's nothing. So I run into the bathroom, trying to clean everything up before anybody sees. At the Four Seasons, there are no paper towels. There are only cloth towels. Even out at the pool bathroom. I don't want to clean up with their linen towels. So I take those tissues that they put around the toilet seat. I have to take like 50 of them, so I have this armload of tissues, trying to do this so no one sees. I wipe up and have it in this big ball of tissue paper. Well, there are no garbage cans around the Four Seasons pool. They always have people who come and whisk your garbage away, and they don't want cans of garbage around the pool, because this is the Four Seasons! Finally, I was able to find one. That's the only downfall of staying at a very high-class hotel with four little boys."
