Picture a beautiful September day with cool breezes that offer people a first break from the sweltering summer. Family X decides to have a cookout at the local picnic area.
The whole family shows up—from the newest infant to the grandparents and older aunts and uncles. They reserve the shelter and buy charcoal, hot dogs, and drinks. They gather, throw a Frisbee, play bocce ball; they eat, drink, and are merry.
Then Grandma says she has to go to the bathroom—now! The others suddenly realize there isn’t a restroom nearby. The closest one is across a bridge—a 10-minute walk. Grandma’s not going to make it, and the baby needs a diaper change as well.
