Fridays, we go to Drumming Circle at Wagner Park

[conuly]

Right off the boat along the water in Battery Park City, can't miss it.

I love this. Runs from 6 - 8 or 9, and people sit in a circle and drum. Families with little kids often don't drum, the kids just run around while the adults watch.

We went last year, we're going all this summer. It's starting to seem to me like "summer" equals "the sound of drums on the water". It's an integral part of my summer experience now.

And there's bathrooms right nearby - what more can you ask for? So, this Friday, I'm at Drumming Circle and I leave the bathroom with Ana. Send her to my mom while I get some water. Just at that moment, a little boy runs into the girl's room with his dad outside going "Connor? CONNOR! GET OUT HERE!"

Eventually, I was dispatched to rescue this kid from the horrors of the ladies' room while his dad kept an ineffective eye on Ana. I told the man that nobody would mind if he was just in and out getting his kid, but I guess that was too much for him. *sighs*

i think seth knows the difference between the male and female bathroom symbol. without fail, he runs to the mens room. I stop dead at the door and grab the nearest soldier to retrieve him for me. I'd prefer not to see 10 soldier's boy bits, if its all the same.

the womens room, though, is a bit different. they generally have stalls, yes? mens rooms have those evil urinals, with no visual block. :/

Lizziey, really. This is something you haven't seen before?

yeah, sorry. i tend not to want to know what my husbands co-workers bits look like. :/

[conuly]

That's the sweetest thing I've heard all day.

Well, no, not really, but I had to say *something* in reply, didn't I?

[lizziey.livejournal.com]

lol.

why? there are plenty of times you dont respond to me!

[conuly]

I try not to in the middle of a conversation. Seemeth rude.

makes sense. i have to get used to the idea of you trying not to be rude...:-p

[conuly]

I'm constantly trying not to be rude. Otherwise, I'd say a hell of a lot more stuff that I don't say, to everybody in the world.

Aren't you glad to know that? :)

[lizziey.livejournal.com]

well, i know that NOW. Still not used to it. :-p

i do think you allow your rude side to escape more freely when at home, which is natural, so perhaps that is why i think that way? :/
