The Bathroom Is Determined by the Gender of the Parent. . .

. . . NOT the gender of the child!

Earlier this afternoon, I left my office suite and went down the hall to pee. I was going about my business when the door opened, and someone walked in with a talkative little girl. The person began to change the her diaper and talk to her.

That's when I realized the person was a man!

Now even if this person couldn't read, there are symbols on the doors that ANYONE can understand! I didn't know what to do, so I sat there for approximately 10 minutes, waiting for him to finish up and get out of there.

How awkward!

    Absolutely -- parent gender trumps. However, as I am constantly reminded by my spouse, men's rooms are rarely equipped with changing stations. (He takes inventory when we go out.) So I have to ask: does the men's room have proper facilities for changing a child?
