Katie writes: My husband and I have two Squatty Potty toilet stools: one for the upstairs bathroom and one downstairs. When we have guests over, my husband hides the downstairs one. I think we should leave it out.

Since you have ruthlessly hijacked my column to buzz-market Squatty Potty, the court feels no compunction in siding with your husband: Hide that thing. If you don’t know what it is, reader, the S.P. is a special toilet footstool/human defecation aide. And if your guests don’t know what it is, they will wonder and worry about you. Then you will have to explain it — which, in my opinion, is not great cocktail chatter. I am glad for you and your colon, Katie, but we do not go to parties to be reminded of that stuff. And, excepting extreme cases, your guests should not be using your bathroom for that purpose anyway. So why invite them?
