Pubes on the Playground (really).

Some people have horror stories about taking their children to their local park and being stared down by Stepford Wive-ish gals in candy colored, cashmere sweaters adorned with festive pins. Truthfully, I wish that was my case. I wish that at the park today the women were discussing ridiculous things like reading toddlers encyclopedias and such so that I could roll my eyes 360 degrees.
Instead, from at least 30 ft. away I had to listen to two women talk about their ingrown pubic hairs.
Girl. Scout.Promise!
Honestly, my problem with listening to this conversation wasn’t that I’m a prude. I’m game for discussion about almost anything. But pube talk? In public? Even I would not do that..sober, particularly within range of little ears or my, still little, but adult ears.
Seriously though, shouldn’t there be a limitation on the radius in which a conversation involving pubic hairs can be heard? Say..five feet? Can the convo be limited to that? I mean, I think that’s being generous when we all really know the radius should be zero feet. There are some things you just keep between your privates and yourself. The problems mentioned above are most definitely such things.
Also, also, also, the best part is that my father is visiting from Georgia. Luckily, he has a wonderful sense of humor and continuously mocked these gals. (Who went on to discuss quick fixes for ingrown pubes, razors shaving creams, how long their beds were rockin’, etc.)
The many mysteries of the world…

I’ve tagged you to do a Christmas meme. I don’t get a huge lot of traffic, but a lot of my readers are younger than I am, as you are, with little kids, so they will love your blog too. If you have time to do it, just visit me and you’ll see the instructions.

Well, I’m glad the ladies mentioned that they have pubes, and aren’t spreading around that ridiculous porno standard…
I don’t know when I’ve become this scary natural hippie feminist. lolz
