Loo-natics!

Thank god for the many McDonalds that are scattered all over the city….we don’t have to go hunting for restaurants and ask discreetly about ‘washrooms’ without availing any of the other services there.

Very recently I dragged my friend up to a McD’s loo and stood waiting outside patiently.
Seconds turned to minutes and then many more minutes but still the door meant for the ladies didn’t open. Yes, women do take longer, but this was strange. After waiting for some 10-15 minutes, lo and behold, the door opened and out trooped 3 boys, 1 girl and one aunty in tow!!! All the 4 kids were in the age group of 9 to 10 years which meant that nobody needed guidance or instructions….so what was this really??

Do these kids, (who now-a-days are developing early and are aware of their sexuality) really need this kind of ‘help’ from their guardians? Did that aunty really think that it’s okay to make it a community act? Or maybe the aunty and others of her kind love to watch the young ones and then make them watch her?

The Nithari case might be in the extremes but with these kinds of strange adults around, I think every house has a little Nithari in the making.
