I take showers, not baths. How about you?
As a society, most adults take showers but many, many kids take baths - and the younger the kids, the more likely that clean-up time is a nighttime bath rather than a morning shower.
(Of course, baths and showers can occur ANY time during the day or night. I'm waaaaay talking in generalities here!)
There are three awesome reasons for taking a shower when you're older:
1. It saves water. Filling a bathtub can use as much as 50 - 70 gallons of water, and a 5-minute shower uses only 10 - 25 gallons.
2. It saves time. Adults are often scurrying between bed and breakfast and chores or jobs and need the time savings every bit as much as the environment needs the water savings.
3. It feels cleaner. The soap and dirt and oils are rinsed down the drain, instead of sitting in it all!
But here are a few great reasons to take baths when you're little:
1. It's less scary than having water constantly pouring down on you, and it's easier for grown ups to help you.
2. Kids don't need the tub as full as adults do, and they often share a tub! Water savings!
3. It can be so relaxing as a transition time between the busy-busy day and nighttime.
4. Bubbles!
Today, Bathtub Party Day, we are all (kids AND adults) encouraged to at least once in a while luxuriate in all the water and time we need for a super relaxing soak! A grown up might want to have a good book, aromatherapy bath scent, and candles for a special once-in-a-very-blue-moon bath, whereas kids might like bubbles and bath toys.
