Turn Right

We decided to go for a walk tonight. The three of us. Got all bundled up and as we leave I realize it's raining.


"Oh, let me grab an umbrella."


"We don't need one...it's going to stop."


So out we go and walk a few blocks and the rain continues.


"Going to stop eh? I think it's starting to rain harder..."


"Well...I mean, it's got to stop eventually some day."


We continue on a few more blocks and as we approach a side alley we notice a man who looks a lot like Bob Marley walk up ahead of us.


We stopped to chat a bit about whether or not we wanted to go get coffee or if we wanted to go to the pub for a beer and an appetizer before our tv show started which we had to be home for.


We opt for the pub and my husband says, "Turn right!"


So instead of walking on the main sidewalk, and mind you it's still raining, we walk down this side alley instead to cut through the buildings and get to the pub in a more timely fashion.


It was dark and gloomy in the alley and my husband turns to me and asks, "Geeeeesh, who's idea was it to walk down this dark alley anyways..."


Just as those words rolled off his tongue, we see the Bob Marley look alike standing up against the wall around the corner of a small inlet...


and...


he's PEEING! Right.there.peeing.in.the.wide.open.up.against.the.brick.wall. Gross.


So naturally my husband starts up a conversation with the man, and the man returns the same friendly conversation.


Is this a man thing? They acted as if it didn't happen. As if they were at a ballgame together. And on our way we went.


The child in me, who still laughs when someone burps really loudly, couldn't help but to try my best from chuckling at a strange man oddly peeing out in the wide open on the side of a building. I burried my face into my daughter's hat as we walked past, as I was carrying her in the front body carrier.


She wasn't any the wiser so she just stared at the man.


I am pretty sure though that as we passed by and were nearly out of earshot...I heard the man say, "oh @#$!%^".


I don't think he expected to see us any more than we expected to see him, but hey...it got us to the pub faster and we made it home for the start of our show!
