For Your Entertainment

I went to the movies last week with one of my friends. For a few unimportant reasons, we went to see a movie we both didn't really care to see.

The movie was so bad, I didn't mind getting up to go to the bathroom. I actually welcomed the break ;o) I walked out of the movie, and straight into the bathroom. At first, I was the only one in there, but then in the next stall over, I heard this sweet little girl say, "Daddy, you go first." and he said, "No honey, you go ahead and go." And then she followed with, "No Daddy, I want you to go first." I don't know about you, but on numerous occasions, I have been witness to some really rude parent/child public bathroom breaks.

I was honestly quite taken by the sweet interaction that was taking place in the next stall over. So much so, that I was blinded by the fact that this little girl's dad chose the women's restroom, instead of assisting her in the men's.  It didn't bother me that much, but I did think it was kind of strange.

As I was washing my hands, the father/daughter duo emerged from the stall. Our eyes caught each others, and I quickly looked away. Actually seeing the man made it that much more peculiar. I tried to tell myself, "to each his own, and there's no harm done, so whatever." I turned around to dry my hands, and out of the corner of my right eye, I saw an entire row of urinals. I can't quite explain the horror I felt in that moment. I was the idiot. I was the one who was in the wrong place. I didn't look back. I just got out of there as fast as I could.

As if seeing the urinals was not proof enough that it was indeed, the men's bathroom, I just had to look on my way out to make sure.  And yes, the man was there on the wall, staring back at me!!

I was laughing so hard I was crying, and couldn't go back into the movie. I couldn't stop thinking of what he must have been thinking of me. Once I contained myself, I rejoined my friend. One look at her, and I burst back into laughter, and had to leave again. I got myself together for the third time, went back in, and she said, "What's so funny?" Staring straight ahead at the I can't believe I paid $10.25 for this terrible movie, I said, "I can't look at you!"

We ended up leaving mid movie, and had a good laugh about it after. It's no big deal, but I am one week out, and I still can't stop laughing about it ;o)
