Drats. All the swimming locker room stalls were full. We were already running late and I couldn’t wait. I reluctantly turned my back to the open room and tried to undress as quickly as possible.
Amy stared as I peeled off my wet suit. Poor child, I know it’s not a pleasant sight. "Mama, your tummy looks like bread dough."
Out of the mouth of babes. Yes, I could be the before picture for the flat belly diet. "Please get dressed. We’ll be late to pick up Daddy."
"What are those white lines?"
I sighed. "Stretch marks. From having babies." I was sorry she had to find out about the harsh realities of life this way.
"And your legs, they poof out at the top." She meant no harm, but really, this had to stop.
"Gravity, gluttony, genetics. You’ll understand someday." I heard a snicker from one of the stalls. How could I save face? Should I bother? I zipped my pants, tugged on a shirt, and tied my shoes in record time. Obviously, no ice cream for me tonight.
I’m waiting for a stall next time, no matter how long it takes.

Funny! I always wait for the stalls but my youngest is only 3 so he comes in with me. He is always asking questions and making comments :-)
ReplyDeleteOh, don't you love when they aske "great" questions in public bathrooms?

ReplyDeleteAngie, this story really made me giggle!! Kids do say the darndest things! My daughter used to say that I had been attacked by a shark (upon seeing stretch marks on my belly)!!
Nice to contact someone in my age group too!! :-)
It seems like kids always say something you don't want them to when you are in the bathroom. You handled it well. Much better than I would have!
