Excuse me...MAM!

My daughter along with my son and 9 other kids were in an act in the school talent show this year.  But before the talent show you have to endure tryouts to see who qualified to be in the "Big Show" the following Thursday.  They of course were the last act......of 20!  While listening to Love story by Taylor Swift for what seemed like the 100th time I had to go to the bathroom.  so I dashed off quickly, said excuse me about a hundred times, and then with a quick glance at the sign on the wall shot through the bathroom door.  The room was empty and oddly no urinals, there was a custodian lady who was cleaning and so I approached her with a simple "mam?" She quickly turned and looked at me and although she didn't say any words I could tell she wasn't happy.  I said "I know you are in here but can I use this restroom or do I have to go to another one?"  She slowly and deliberately said "No you can not use this restroom....you can use the restroom next door."  To which I replied " there is another guys restroom next....OHHHH MYY!"  I was in the girls restroom of an elementary school and worst off the custodian wasn't cleaning she was using...AHHHHHH! This wasn't a dream! it was real, so with out another word between us I turned to leave the bathroom and after what seemed like forever finally reached the door.  I reached and opened the door, to escape before anyone noticed what I had done, but just on the other side of the door....was my 3rd grade daughter!  She responded with a very embarrassed and inquisitive "daddy?" and I ran off.  True story
