A week or so ago I was just leaving one of the shower stalls Nd passed a young girl around ten showering naked in the open shower area right outside the stalls. I walked past her around the dividing wall to the drying area and nearly ran into a boy of 7 or 8 and his mom. I stopped her from going further. "There's a girl showering right here," I said.

"Oh, he won't mind." She said. "I bring him with me all the time. I can't send him through the men's locker room alone."

They were heading for the shower stall I had just left. I didn't let him by me. "If this little girl is anything like my daughter, she'd be mortified."

"Yes, well, I wish they had a family locker room." The woman put a towel over his eyes and pushed on past me. I couldn't believe it. Maybe he was just big for his age, but holy cow. Still, what's a mother with a son in tow suuposed to do?
