It was bound to happen. Yesterday, one of my twins sons asked, "Daddy, how do astronauts use the bathroom in space?" I explained that there's actually a toilet on the space shuttle, but just HAD to add that before that, they peed in a tube and pooped in a baggie taped to their butts.

Oh, you should have heard the giggles!!!

Yes, but try telling your kids that they had to bring all the bags back to Earth for people to check the contents!
