The unfathomable happened today..

So, Emory and I took the kiddos to breakfast this morning at this little hole in the wall called "Doug's Place" in Cartersville. It's cheap food, that needs a lot of salt and pepper. Anyway, as always the tree older children ordered pancakes, which as you know, requires SYRUP. SO, we allowed them syrup, and they actually all finished their pancakes. We were impressed. And as you also know with these kids being 6 and under, syrup requires a trip to the restroom to wash up. So, I march the 3 kids into a one seater in the main hallway of the restaurant, you almost have to walk through here to get to a table. As we get into the bathroom to wash our hands, each child discovers the immediate need to use the restroom. So, one-by-one they use the potty. Michel first, then Aidan and lastly Mina. As each kid is using the restroom someone outside the door is knocking, so I say"someones in here, we will be done in a minute." But, still the knocking continues, so as Mina squats to go potty, I crack the door, to tell the person interrupting our bathroom session that we will be out in a minute, that this restroom is a ONE SEATER!! Low and Behold, this 90 year old woman busts through the door, almost knocking me down, and scars my children for life. She pulled up her dress, pulled down her panties, and ALMOST SAT ON MINA. I kid you not, the whole time shouting "I am an old woman, I can't hold it." I was horrified, yelling at the kids to close their eyes, as I shoved them through the door. We saw her tutu! Or whatever you want to call it. Aidan kept saying what is that, what is she doing, and I was screaming GET OUT!! Can you believe that. She would have sat on my child with her bare butt, had Mina not moved as quickly as she did. I was totally disgusted!! I don't care how old you are....YOU NEED MANNERS.
