My husband was off from work and I needed to go to the grocery store. The little one had just fallen asleep. I didn’t waste a single second. I laid the little one down and grabbed my bag and headed out the door. Of course I had to use the restroom when I got to the store because I didn’t go at home. As soon as I got to the grocery store I went to the restroom.
I envy women who can run in and out of the restroom in about a minute. It’s so embarrassing when I am at a restaurant with friends and I get up to go to the restroom. I takes me longer than the normal person to start a stream. And the pain!!! I’m always met back at the table with, “Are you okay?” *sigh* I am jealous of the women who come into the stalls next to me, urinate while flushing simultaneously, and their hands are washed and I hear the door fly open before the toilet stops filling. WTF! And I am still here wincing in pain trying to start my stream.
Back to my story…So I get out of the restroom and run into a friend. We exchange hellos and then her face becomes very serious. “Are you okay?,” she asked. I had forgotten to wipe the tears from my eyes in restroom! Happens all the time. My husband has already become immune to my teary eyes. It’s just a sign that I have recently come out of the bathroom. It’s so common that I forget to wipe them half of the time.
I wiped my eyes and said, “Oh yeah, I’m fine.” I began asking about her family and we chit-chat for a little while. We said our goodbyes and right before we part, she leans in and says, “I’m here for you if you need anything.”
Ahhh! Why do I forget to wipe my eyes!?
