I forgot about this:
When we were camping last month, I took Grant into the women’s bathroom to get him ready for bed. There was a woman in a stall when we arrived, but Grant didn’t notice. He yakked non-stop while I got him ready, even trying to talk with the toothbrush in his mouth.
As we finished up, the woman emerged from the stall. She was wearing a large purple sweatshirt and had the hood up. Crazy gray hair peeked out from underneath the hood. Instead of a flashlight, she had a lantern. She was very old and wrinkly, had a chin that curved up and a nose that hooked down. She had a Sarah Jessica Parker mole on her chin. (OK, the mole that SJP used to have on her chin.)
Grant’s eyes got huge and I could hear him take a sharp inhale of breath. I knew exactly what he was thinking. I shoved the toothbrush back in his mouth and kept him from talking. Fortunately, the lady washed up and left quickly. When she was gone, Grant looked up at me and said in complete awe: “Mom, it was the Snow White lady!”
