Butt’ in the middle of nowhere.
Mum and I were at Bedok Central just a night ago when we spotted a little boy peeing in a small grass patch near the parade square with the aid of his mum (she was helping to hold his pants while her little dude had his pee).
And the little dude’s butt was visible to the whole world.
Okay, I exaggerate - it was completely visible to whoever was milling around the parade square at least.
It’s nice to be young and ignorant, without a single inhibition about showing off your privates in public. But it would be nice if the mum at least decided to let her little fountain of a kid have his leak somewhere else more secluded, instead of in the middle of a wide open space in full view of everyone.
Like that field a stone’s throw away which is lined with bushes? (So that the general public can be spared the view of his ahem.)
Or the nearest toilet which is less than a three minute walk away, at Burger King.
Of course, the bare butt was the first thing that caught my eye, because it was so bliming’ obvious. So I grimaced, leaned over to my mum and remarked - “I feel like saying ‘shame, shame‘ very loudly when we walk past that kid.”
And that was the lesser of the two evils.
What I really wanted to do was to recite the entire ’shame shame’ poem at that little fellow which goes - ‘Shame, shame. Baboo shame. Kachang puteh lima shame.’
I expected my mum to rebuke me for being so mean. (She knows my animosity towards kids very well, considering how I am constantly coming up with ways and means to annihilate any kid that crosses my path, beginning with my biggest wish of flattening kids running around at Carrefour with a trolley.)
Instead, she sniggered and agreed.
“Me too,” says she.
But we didn’t, of course.
Conscience and sheer pity for the kid soon took over, and we only broke into giggles when we were safely out of sight.
Out of curiousity - did you as a kid, ever pee’d before in public?
(And please tell me you did it in a bush.)

Yes, I have, actually, but no, I would never have done it in public, not even when I was little. I would’ve hid behind a bush or behind the doors of the car (yes, I once needed to go for a pee really badly while we were on the highway)… But I (and my mum, of course) always made sure no one would be able to see it. I think it’s strange how she allowed her son to do it in public, like that, while everyone could see him. How old was the kid anyway?
Brenda’s reply: I’d estimate his age to be around four. (:
Er, kind of. Once when my family was out on a roadtrip, I had to pee really, really bad but we were out on the interstate in the middle of nowhere. So my dad pulled over to the side of the road and I went pee. I stayed really close to the car because it was practically midnight and I didn’t want to get bit by a snake or something! We were out in the country with wild animals and that.
I almost died of embarrassment right then even though it was only my family in the car.
I think my mom taught me better than that XD
well, unless the kid’s like super urgent then
I can’t blame either :/
Surely they could’ve found a bathroom? Or, like you said, resort to the nearby bushes. I think i’ve only ever done that in the bushes… but that can’t really be counted as “in public” cos it was on camping trips. In fact the last time I had to pee in a bush was earlier this year - but that’s what you do out in the wilderness, not in the middle of town :\.
Yucky! =/
I can’t believe that woman would subject her child to that. What bad parenting! Not only that, but how unsanitary! I sure hope they had some hand sanitizer or some wet naps…. blah!
of all the things to notice! and blog about…i shouldn’t be surprised…and yet i am…AHAHAHAHAH anyway..wish i had been there…i would have at least snorted loud enough for the mum to hear….and NO i have NOT peed in public before..not that i can remember…. ^_^
