Grown ups on a pot
Chamber pots were found in most homes in the 19th century. In Danish it was called a night pot, because it was chiefly used at night to avoid going out to the latrine in the yard. In the morning the contents would be emptied into the latrine, if people did not take the chance to empty the pot directly into the street.
