The great thing about being a kid in that neighborhood was you always knew were the bathroom was, no matter whose house you were in. In the hallway, the bathroom is on one side, and the closet on the other, but the houses were built in left- and right-hand configurations, so you had a 50/50 chance if both doors were closed and you weren't thinking about it.
