In case you didn’t know, this here suburban island, Bainbridge Island, has a plethora of unsolicited advice givers rep.
“Rustic yet somehow surprisingly expensive charm with lovely winding roads bikers beware! and gardens unless you live perpetually in shade like me,” they sing from the visitor’s bureau site.
Yet, just the other day during the usual playdate drop-off action, I pulled my car up to a stop sign and saw something, er, out of the ordinary for this tres chic island.
A small boy, a preschooler, I’d guess, marched out on his second-story balcony. I glanced up in my momentary pause for traffic to pass. Some part of my brain must have noticed him fidgeting with his pants as he walked out because I recall having a fleeting thought of oh, there must be a little potty on the balcony.
Wrong.
Just as I started to turn into the road, I was afforded a terrific balcony side view of this little boy’s two-story tall stream of pee flying off the balcony (through the slats) and down to the grassy yard below.
I gasped. And chuckled. Bainbridge Island image, take that! Bam!
Days later, I drove past that apartment complex and realized its name: Western View Terrace.
Western View Terrace, indeed.
A great view to enjoy if your bladder needs relieving.
A not-so-great view if you’re walking your dog under the terrace.
Do you think they should add something to the island’s marketing tools? How could we enhance our image even more?
In addition to quaint shops and forests of emerald, enjoy expansive freedom of personal….release?
Other suggestions?
