Hello!
On the âAsk a Questionâ thread, a poster bravely shared an embarrassing incident that involved the loos in BHS.
Which reminded me of my own embarrassing BHS loos-based incident.
I was with a Year 2 class visiting the panto in town.
The school was in walking distance to the town centre, so we always walked there.
At the time my Number 1 charge and constant companion was a little Latvian boy who had autistic spectrum condition (and didnât you just know it).
We actually loved each other to bits (am I allowed to say that?) but he was extremely self willed and vocal about everything.
Having refused to do the obligatory toilet stop before leaving school, half way to the panto he decided that he did actually need the loo, and he needed it pronto.
So, he and I split from the rest of class, quickly trotting hand in hand to and through the crowds to BHS in pursuit of the toilets.
And I had to really hold onto him as he was a bit of a flight risk.
He also wasnât exactly delighted at the prospect of going in the ladies, as he usually went in the gents with his Dad.
As it was coming up to Christmas, town was absolutely packed.
I was also mindful that I needed to get back to the teacher and the rest of class as navigating 30+ infants through a packed shopping centre isnât easy.
All the way throughout the fraught process, whenever I urged him to âget a move onâ, he squealed at the top of his voice, to the throngs of horrified shoppers,
âSheâs Not My Mum! She isnât! Sheâs Not My Mum!â
Tell us an embarrassing incident.
It doesnât need to involve the loos at BHS
