Not Public

     I'm the type of parent who feels comfortable bathing with my children. The naked thing does not bother me. I see it as a time saver when you clean one mom and two kids simultaneously. It just makes sense. But this hasn't occurred without awkward moments like the two I will describe below.
     On another subject altogether, I am a single mother. For those of you who don't know any single mothers, let me tell you that single mothers are busy...very busy...extremely busy if you will. So being that I am a busy person, I mostly focus more on my needs than my wants. And when this happens, things get out of control, for instance, the maintenance of one's pubic hair. Yes I said pubic hair. Occasionally, I groom the hair but not as often as I would like.
     One day, as my daughter and I innocently showered together she screamed, "Mom! You're peeing!"
     I looked down to see water flowing from the long locks I had grown and watched as is streamed straight into the drain. It was worse than if I had peed. I tried to tell my daughter that I had not peed in the shower but she did not believe me and began to look at me differently that day.
     The next incident occurred after my daughter and I had showered. While we toweled off our bodies, my daughter asked me why I had feathers down there. Yes, my hair had gotten so out of control that it resembled some sort of feathery bush. Needless to say, I groomed myself that day.
