"Do you know what I just saw?!"
His question, prefaced by a sharp intake of breath and laced with urgency, struck a little fear in my heart. We were at the beach, and he and I were taking a Cheez-It break while his brother and sister played down by the water.
I stalled a bit, because I knew what I'd just seen: a European woman who'd removed her bikini top just a short distance from us (and then took her sweet time getting dressed). Clearly she didn't get the "family beach" memo.
And he's six years old. Too old for the women's locker room, so to speak.
"No...what did you just see?" My mind was racing with explanations (to him and to his mom when we came home).
"A SANDY CHEEZ-IT!" He leaned back and laughed, pointing to his half-buried crackers. Never have I been so glad for a child to dump his snack in the sand.
