This isn't a poop story, but a bathroom etiquette story.

I was in a restaurant a few years ago and had to go to the bathroom. I entered the women's loo and there was a young boy in there. He looked to be around six years old or so. I didn't pay much attention to him. I went into my stall to take care of my monthly friend, if you get my drift.

So there I am, legs akimbo, taking care of business, when I see his little cherub face grinning up at me from underneath the next stall.

Needless to say, I was pretty miffed.

I stormed out of there and saw a woman leaning up against the wall.

"Is that your son in there?!?" I asked. She got a look of concern on her face as she acknowledged that it was. I told her what had happened and angrily suggested that she shouldn't let him use the women's room.

The way I look at it: if he is old enough to be embarrassed by her presence in the bathroom, than it's time to be using the men's room. If he isn't old enough to be using the men's room (or she is worried about pervs or something), than she needs to go in there and supervise him! Using the women's room alone should not be an option.

Am I a prude?
