With this new series, my intention is to help foster and nurture an open and profound bond between father and daughter, one that transcends the awkwardness of puberty. (I wrote about it in more detail here.)
And in that spirit, I’ve agreed that once a week I will answer – honestly – any question my husband puts to me.
So, here’s what hubby has come up with for me this week…
Hubby: I don’t know why I didn’t ask about this sooner! This is something that has puzzled and intrigued us fellas since the dawn of time… Why can’t women visit the loo solo? And you’re always gone ages – what exactly is it you’re doing in there?
Me: Is nothing sacred?! Why do women go to the loo in pairs? Okay, here it is: in a revelation which will have women the world over furious that our secret has been outed rejoicing that the truth has been revealed…
To have a massive snog and feel each other up.
If that’s what some silly fools think – or hope more likely – to be the actuality, then I’m sorry to disappoint – but they’re about to be disillusioned. In fact, we go together for several far less exciting reasons, dependent upon the circumstances:
- Dinner with the Neighbours
To escape the tedious hell of football/car/work talk.
- Double Dates
To plot/strategize/muse/deliberate. Yes, alright, essentially it’s to gossip.
- Girls’ Night Out
A lone female is an easy mark for drunken buffoons. But as we all know, there’s safety in numbers:
It’s a well-established fact that a pack of women is a thing to be admired and revered.
- All of the Above
Sometimes it’s genuinely the only opportunity we have for a bit of quality girl time with our bestie/s.
So, I’m sorry to be the bearer of a slightly less beguiling reality than your enigmatic imaginings! While I’d love to be able to tell you that it’s where we ride unicorns and do our Jedi training for that inexplicable phenomena known as Female Intuition – it’s just not the case.

Ha ha good question! I LOVE having a “loo mate” when I go out – I have no good reason why, it’s just nice to have someone to go with isn’t it 🙂 x x
Exactly! We all do it, do you think I answered accurately as to why?! Xx
Love it!!
Ah, thank you! Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for commenting.
Oh for a good girly catch up and gossip for sure … great idea though for posts – looking forward to the next question #BloggerClubUK
Thanks, glad you liked it! This is week 10 so already plenty more where this came from! ?
Haha, good point! ? x
Haha, it is a little strange if you think about it. (But I think you’re in the minority!)
Haha, I guess it’s not for everyone! Ah, I did RT for #BloggerClubUK’s new rule! Am sure you acknowledged it though, but equally possible I may be going senile! ?
Haha, how funny! And yes, I know that well – I usually have my daughter perched on my knee!
To each their own I guess! Thanks for commenting! ☺
God, that’s a step too far, surely?! Inviting trouble if you ask me…
This is a good one, I once unwittingly went to the loo with a girl I had just met in a club, she bought me a rose 5 minutes before (!) and of course me being me thought she was just being friendly…suffice to say what almost happened in that loo was not dissimilar to your opening statement until the penny dropped for me and I had to talk my way out of it haha! xxx
???? I can imagine you being that innocent! Xxx
Haha! Perhaps I should have kept up the pretence! X
Haha – I would actually have been with your husband in asking this! I have never done it or understood why people do! But I’m a real introvert – I like my personal space! #coolmumclub
Quite a few have said this now! Perhaps it’s a dying ‘thing’. I definitely did it more when I was young and in a club environment, it’s not quite the same in a restaurant!
Yes, I think I would too – not that I expect that will feature as a concern in my life for the foreseeable future, haha! X
To gossip! Would be considered a bit weird if men did it though 🙂 Thanks for linking up to #TheList x
Haha Aby, very true! X
