Bathroom Break Away


My daughter and I were at the Georgia aquarium and I just finished changing her diaper in the women’s restroom. We walked out and washed our hands and before I could pick her up, and strap her into the stroller, she took off running! She ran straight out of the ladies room and straight into the men’s room! It was a restroom-to-restroom setup - one of those without a door, just a wall to walk around to enter. I did what any mother would do … I bolted after her - leaving the stroller, my purse, and all our belongings outside unattended – and running right into the men’s room!! I ran with my head down, eyes shielded, and yet all the while looking for her and trying to grab only her! There were urinals on both sides of the room and (of course) she ran straight down the middle before I caught her. Unfortunately, for me, it wasn’t a slow day at the aquarium. All urinals were at one hundred percent occupancy and we got several loud comments, such as, “Whoa!” and, “What the heck?!” trying to get out of there!
