@Slide Rule Speaking of civilized societies,I saw a tiny infant sitting on a table at a booth in Hardees yesterday. Cute little booger with blonde hair so fine she seemed to be bald,and with big blue eyes. I smiled at her as I passed and told the father "That looks like a brand new one."
He replied "She is 10 months old",and smiled.
So I went and sat at my normal table,just across the aisle from them,and one row down.
This was Saturday afternoon at a Hardees on the way to and from the ocean,so you know it was a busy place.
The mother stands up,grabs the baby off the table,and lays her down in the booth. This movement caught my eye,so I looked over to see what is happening,and damned if she isn't changing that baby's diaper right in the boot,exposing her to anyone and everyone in the joint that happens to look that way.
Granted,there is nothing the slightest bit sexy (OR repulsive) about the genitals of an infant to 99 percent of us,but there were a lot of male children in the restaurant at the time,and chances are not all of them have baby sisters.
Am I being a fuddy-duddy over her changing a baby in full public view instead of going into the ladies room where there is a changing table to do it?
And this isn't even addressing not wiping the booth seat down before leaving. I looked at it carefully and couldn't see any "diaper debris",but that doesn't mean it shouldn't have been wiped down.
Thoughts?
