Dear People Who Urinate in Public,
Did you not read my previous letter? It's bad enough when grown men do it, but passing it on to the next generation? Que Horror! I have to admit I was seriously taken aback (meaning I literally had to step back to avoid the "flow") when my husband and I were strolling along 5th Avenue after watching Julie and Julia (albeit in the world's most ghetto-fabu theater), enjoying a rare moment of "together time" without our son, when suddenly the little girl walking ahead of us announces she has to pee and literally hikes up her dress and does the deed right there on the sidewalk. There was no artful attempt to hide the infraction nor was the parent standing there with a look of shame and horror on her face. It was like, "hurry up and pee already". I was speechless (and also thinking of the many times Ryan has fallen down on sidewalks here, using his hands to catch himself. MORE SANITIZER PLEASE!)
Ummm....so NYC is TOTALLY not helping me potty train my kiddo. I do not appreciate this as I don't think they make diapers for 10 year olds (well, maybe they do, but probably not as absorbant). Thankfully our little guy wasn't there to see and cheer for this most recent display, but geez. WHY is it so common to see people doing that here?! Once again I appeal to the general public and especially those fond of relieving nature's call far away from any actual "nature" to please, for the love of Charmin, find a potty! (Chances are, God willing my son gets over his fear of potty monsters, I'll soon be carrying one in my giant purse and I'd be happy to let you use it).
Double hugs, double ply,
L.

Okay...that is disgusting. Absolutely crazy!
ReplyDeleteTHIS JUST IN: My son has become a public pee-er. He did it in the neighbors front yard and tried to do it in the planter in front of his preschool (or as he calls it PEE school). I try to stop him, but ultimately I would rather him do it then pee in his pants. I will however, make sure he stops this behavior before our next trip to NYC. :o)
