\nWe went and saw How To Train Your Dragon<\/em> on the weekend and was surprised at how good it was (considering it was from Dreamworks). It’s your basic outsider kid makes good against impossible odds, but with dragons. And for some reason kids have American accents which morph into Scottish ones when they grow up. I digress. In one part of the movie, the big burly Viking King, didactically named Stoick, was speaking to his best friend and Dragon Slayer trainer, about his wispy son not being “Viking” enough:<\/p>\n

Stoick: If he fights, he’ll get killed! I can’t save him!
\nGobber: No you can’t protect<\/em> him but you can prepare<\/em> him.<\/p>\n

Various Father\/Son issues were brought up and resolved within the 90+ minutes and we all left the theatre with a smile on our faces. Seriously, it was a good movie.<\/p>\n

After the movie I had to make my way to the loo (Yay movie sized pop!) where I found a woman blocking the door to the men’s room. Standing in the doorway, her foot was propping open the door while she was looking\/not looking into the can, loudly demanding status updates on her son’s “business” (from where she was at the door, everyone in the hall could see in and by the reflection of the mirrors, were getting an eyeful of urinal action). By the time I got behind her she was instructing him how to wash his hands. I either had to confront her, or pee on her.<\/p>\n

“Excuse me,” I say, pushing the door open and pushing past her.<\/p>\n

“Of course,” she says, keeping the door open. I turn and scowl. <\/p>\n

She sees the scowl and shuts the door.<\/p>\n

Come on lady, did you not learn ANYTHING from the movie you just saw? If you’re that worried about your son being in a washroom by himself take him into the ladies. Or you could teach him well enough not to talk to strangers, and maybe some proper public washroom etiquette\/safety tips and TRUST him enough to do the right thing on his own. That way I don’t have to show the entire lobby my pee stance. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
