I Can’t Help It. I Just Think This Way.

Category: poop and pee

So then there was the thing in Huntington Beach where a little girl got diarrhea right outside Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory. Long story short, they wouldn’t let her use their bathroom, which is intended solely for employees. The poor kid apparently soiled herself, and wound up cleaning up at the very same movie theatre where our family saw Kung Fu Panda last weekend! Small world.

I’m a mom, and I feel bad for everyone involved. Bad for the store manager, who actually received threats of (1) death and (2) having her home pelted with feces. Bad for the kid, who was only five years old and who must have had an awful time of it. Bad for her mom, who must have been at her wits’ end. (Footnote: I received a lot more bathroom sympathy when visibly pregnant and claiming I had to pee. Retailers would practically build me a bathroom if I came in and said I had to go.)

But the bit of the story that really sticks with me? They said diarrhea and Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory in the same sentence. Hee.

God, I’m puerile.

    Yes, but you’re “puerile” with a great vocabulary. Not everyone can pull off using that word.

    I suffer the same mental insanity as you because my mind went to the exact same place.
