My son just reminded me....

of a swim meet that my older daughter was in about 75 miles from our home. I packed everyone into the car and set off for the meet, of course have way down the Massachusetts Turnpike my then 5 year old son decides he has to pee. So we pull off into a rest area and he bolts from the car so that he can get away from me and not have to use the "Ladies Room". Into the mens room he went and into the mens room I went chasing him! You should have seen his face and the faces of the other males in the batroom I grabbed my kid and then turned to them and told them I was a nurse so I didn't really think it a bad thing I was in the bathroom with them!!!

Penny: I have been an ER nurse for 13 years and have seen
"stranger rape" slowly increase over the years...but I do nod to your statement that abuse occurs more often with people we know!
