Something's funny in the bathroom

Okay- I couldn't resist the title - don't worry though, I promise the following story isn't really bathroom humor. It just happened to happen in the bathroom.....well, maybe it's a little bathroom humor...but not bad. Please read on.


Yesterday while shopping in Michael's my 4yr.old informed me he had to go potty. Keep in mind my cart was full of various craft items as well as my 1yr.old, there was no way I was going to let my 4y.o. go to the bathroom by himself so my dilemma was 1) where's the bathroom and 2) what do I do with my cart while I help said child in the bathroom. Upon locating the bathroom and examining it I decided since it was a 2 seater but not too big I could stand in the doorway and let him go potty and keep my cart and baby right by my side - outside of the restroom. I guess while I was standing there I was blocking the sign that indicated it was the "Women's Restroom". A lady walked quickly by me mumbling to herself in distress about not being able to find the "Women's room". I said, "Oh, it's right here. Sorry I was blocking the sign." then I held the door open for her.
I (not thinking about her anymore) blurted out, "Make sure you flush."
You should have seen the look she gave me.---------
Quickly but not quickly enough I realized what I had said and added with a smile, "S......l"
She scowled for a moment and then it registered to her what was going on she laughed and went about her business.

I giggled.....then I couldn't wait to tell my husband and of course I thought "I am so going to blog this."

I imagine that if she were a blogger her entry would go something like this.

Today in the restroom at the store I was reminded to make sure I wipe and flush by a complete stranger. That poor girl really needs to get a life if that's what she does all day for fun or maybe she just needs help. I should have gotten her name so I could refer her to a good therapist.

Anyway it was just a typical Carol thing to do. It seems that so many funny things happen to me in public restrooms. If I ever write my book I will definitely have to have a chapter dedicated to public restrooms.
