Lexi's Memorable Scene

The most memorable moment for me in The Grapes of Wrath would have to be the story involving Winfield and Ruthie. Ruthie and Winfield are told to go clean up in the sanitary units. When they get there they see things they have never seen before. Ruthie admits that she peed a little bit in one of the toilets. She plops down on a toilet. When she does this Winfield puts his had on the handle of the toilet. All of a sudden a rush of water swirls in the bowl of the toilet. This scares Ruthie. Ruthie tells Winfield that he broke the toilet. He asks her to promise she won't tell what he had done. She agrees, but later she tells her mom about the incident. Their mom laughs and them shows them that the toilet is supposed to do. I thought this story was funny because the kids were so clueless. They both were scared but curious.
