On Friday, I drank a full 8 cups of water in the hour that I was on the treadmill...and in the hour afterwards, had to use the bathroom quite often, and a funny conversation ensued.
Me: "This is the FOURTH time I've gone to the bathroom in an hour."
Adam: "Oh, that's okay; it's supposed to be clear and copious."
Me: "What?"
Adam: "Clear and copious."
Me: "What are you talking about?"
Adam: "Clear and copious. That's what they teach you in Boy Scouts."
Me: "Um, they do? No, they don't, do they?"
Adam (emphatically): "Yes. It's easy to get dehydrated so you have to drink lots of water and then your urine should be clear and copious."
Me (tone of disbelief): "Did they really teach you that?"
Adam (confidently): "Oh, yeah. It's an official Boy Scout lesson."
I'm not sure if it's really official, but it seems to be one that stuck with Adam!
*Since this happened on Friday and I'm just getting around to blogging about it today, I asked Adam if there were any details he remembered, and he quickly said, "Yeah, you laughed at me a lot." Um, true. I certainly did :)

That IS funny! I don't remember Ethan ever telling me about learning that in boy scouts. It's true, though--we need lots of water!
