I went downtown to get a prenatal massage today, and it was lovely; just what I needed. As I was basking in my post-massage glow, waiting at the bus stop, and eavesdropping on the women sitting next to me, a family of tourists paused in front of me.
I knew they were tourists because they had British accents and were taking pictures. I am observant like that. So it was a grandfather with the camera, a grandmother, a pre-pubescent grandson, and a young-teen granddaughter.
The granddaughter was wearing what I remember from my youth as a "cut-off jean skirt." She turned her back to me, and I got an eyeful of the entire bottom of her ass. Like, both butt cheeks and crack. While she was standing still, chatting away with her grandmother.
I knew the other women at the bus stop had seen it too, because their conversation died mid-sentence. I was just as dumbstruck as they were. I could not imagine how this girl had been walking around the city of Boston all day with her ass hanging out and not gotten cited for something. I mean seriously, this was a skirt that
Lady Gaga would have rejected as too revealing. I have paid money to see that much ass. My current pair of underwear cover more than that skirt.
But the most baffling-slash-appalling part of the whole story is that when the family walked away? The grandparents walked BEHIND the girl. Meaning they totally knew that she was going around flashing unsuspecting pregnant women. What the hell! I hate to break out my cranky-old-woman before the baby's even born, but honestly, what is this world coming to?
