I was responding on another thread and I remembered something a little shocking. (Finally, I have something to contribute to one of my favorite threads) Anyway, we were on a Med cruise in 2013. My DD, 13 at the time, and I were in Barcelona the morning of embarkation. We went down to the beach to be able to say that we had been in the Mediterranean and at least walk in the water. She found a snail shell that we thought was empty. I put it back in the water, or so I thought. Found it by the smell when we returned home. It was not empty. That was not the unexpected part. As we were walking, I looked over my daughter's shoulder to see a man changing into his bathing suit on the beach. He was taking his time and appeared to be rather nonplussed by all of the people around him. Granted, he was semi-in shape and had nothing to not be proud of showing off. I REALLY didn't need to explain to my daughter about people of different shapes and sizes. We had explained the possibility of nudity on the beaches and she stated that it wouldn't bother her - and it didn't. I just was not ready for it when it happened. And, well, yeah, uh, umm, size might have needed some explanation of this isn't McDonald's and not everyone is supersized. Uhhggg . . . that was not normal. Luckily, the snail shell and my ongoing banter kept her attention from turning around just long enough. (yeah, bad pun)
