Entry FeedToday while walking through the underground on the way to the subway with Son Two, I noticed a man sitting on a little stool.
This was an older man, grizzly with a full grey shaggy beard and head of hair. He was wearing a normal-looking parka, but I could see his ass.
He wore white, fishnet stockings with faux garters, and a white thong. His stockings were footless, so he wore white ankle socks with silver flats. He was pretty hairy, and with the lack of butt in the tights, you could see everything.
As we walked by, I held my son's hand a little tighter. I could see him staring, and was a little concerned.
Son Two: Mommy - that man is eating ice cream right out of the container!
I looked over, and yes, he was eating from a two litre container of vanilla ice cream.
Son Two: He'd better eat it all.
The rule in our house is that if there is only a little ice cream left, you can eat if directly form the container with a spoon. The man had obviously just bought the ice cream at the ValueMart, but he did look like he could finish it.
This is why kids are wonderful. We can walk past a girl with a bright pink mohawk wearing what looks like an old wedding dress and they say nothing; but see a nicely dressed gentleman who happens to be bald and they yell out, "Hey look! That man has no hair!"
Or today, you see a man with his bum hanging out wearing fishnets, silver shoes and a thong, and they notice that he is eating ice cream without a bowl.
Either we are raising really non-judgmental children, or hopelessly unobservant kids.
