Warning

One of the first things I noticed in our hotel is the public bathroom. It’s larger than most hotel bathrooms and is oddly easy to get lost in. The bathroom is a labyrinth of mirrors and vanities.

When you leave the bathroom there is a sign warning pregnant women of the mental and physical damages that drinking alcohol will cause their unborn children. Of course I laughed. But then I took back my laughter. I forget that there is a world of knowledge available only to those privileged enough to attend decent public schools and even colleges. The damaging affects of drugs and alcohol unborn children isn’t common knowledge. So, please join me in a moment of gratitude and reflection.

So, that was sweet. But then I just learned that the same sign is on the back of the men’s bathroom door as well. And it’s freakin’ hilarious again!
