Germaphobe meets VV Boutique washroom



Take a look at the title again.....enough said??? Well.....let me elaborate.


So of course, my kids seem to pick the ickiest places to have to pee. Unfortunatly it had to be Value Village. We find a worker that has a key and she lets us into the germ chamber. I am already having anxiety due to touching the shopping cart and the "used clothes" that this visit to the dark zone should be a good one.


Now let me explain the reason I am shopping in VV Boutique to begin with. We needed a costume in a hurry for Keegan's dubbing ceremony at school that evening. During the year the teacher had the kids fill out forms about what "dragons" they wanted to slay throughout the year. For Keegan it was getting work done in class so he had no homework and to get to a higher reading level. I am assuming he has slayed those dragons due to the dubbing ceremony that's to take place. SO we find this awesome granny sweater that is SILVER...perfect for chain male/mail???!!


Anyway.....now imagine us in the lovely shit and shave room. There is not a trace of clean floor, shaved hairs in the sink (seriously!!) and there is a candy necklace that has exploded all over the dirty floor. Keegan tries to pee on his tip toes in the urinal, Aiden pees in the toilet and all with out touching ANYTHING!! The White porcelain is not so white anymore.


SO next, it's my turn. I do my VERY best to do the germaphobe pee (please don't picture that!) while hanging on to Sarah so she doesn't start crawling around.


When all of a sudden, she makes a mad dash, while I am still peeing, for one of the candies from the necklace and pops it into her mouth. Now, after our pill popping incident a couple of weeks ago all I could think about was someones dropped pill or even something illegal (not in Kelowna??!!) As I still pee I am trying to dig out the candy in her mouth. I finish and drag her out of the stall and we try to wash up...by now I am on the brink of a meltdown.


We leave with our dirty hands and purell the crap out of them as soon as we get to the van.


That's my story of the VV Boutique washroom.


And you know what???? The dubbing ceremony is NEXT week!!!

OMGoodness!! I can so relate. I'm horrible with touching things, I can only imagine how horrible it was there. ICKY!!!!!
BTW, holy cow! You're a Friesen, and you're from Winkler?? I'm a Friesen (married into a Friesen family), and from Rosenfeld (born in Altona). What are the odds of that? Hubby actually works at Triple E!
Thanks for stopping by my blog today, I appreciate it. :)
