Don’t Get Stuck in the Bath

Many years ago I lived in Hong Kong.  A friend there – Gail – was from Bristol, England.  Her mother was still in Bristol, and living in an assisted living facility.  One morning her friends at the facility became concerned when she didn’t show up for their regular card game.  They found Gail’s mother in her flat in the bathtub.  She had been there all night.  You see, she had got stuck in the bath the night before.  She was a large woman and somehow got herself into a position where she couldn’t get out of the bath.

To us girls, that was a horrifying way to end up.  We developed a catch-phrase “Don’t get stuck in the bath”.  This meant to stay strong and active.

When I left Hong Kong a mutual friend of mine and Gail’s gave me a coffee mug with those words inscribed.
