I had an interesting moment today
I was standing at a urinal in a men's room, doing what men usually do while standing at the urinal.
Suddenly, a woman's voice.
"Aren't these lovely pictures?" she asked. "I wonder who drew them. Look, an elephant."
I hoped she was not talking about me.
I kept my eyes, and body, turmed toward the urinal, wondering if I should exchange a pleasant greeting, like: Hello. How are you? Having a nice day? What the hell are you doing in a men's room?
But I didn't. I just finished....well, you know what I finished.
By the time I turned around she was gone.
I assume she had a little boy with, which was why she was talking in such a sing song manner. But, she could have had a little girl and gone in the wrong bathroom.
I guess the sight of a rather older gent using a urinal might have caused a moment's hesitation, and a possible reconsideration of her ultimate destination.
I am just glad I did not turn to greet her.
I really don't care who I share a bathroom with, as long as I know ahead of time that that is a possibililty. If I know, I would wear better underwear.
