8/16 Dad urinated in my driveway

Dad & Mom came over so Duane could make repairs on their leaky windshield. Maddy & I were gone shopping (about 5:30 pm) and Adam was at work, so Duane was the only one here with them. He reported that as he was fixing the windshield, Dad stated to Mom that he had to urinate. She asked whether he wanted to go inside or "do it here." Dad said he wanted to go "right here." Duane reported that he got out of the car, stood next to it facing away from the street, and proceeded to open up his zipper and urinate on my driveway!

When I confronted them about the incident later, dad said the only alternative was to wet himself on the seat. I reminded him that he often uses a urinal which he keeps in the car, and that he could wear the adult diapers he often uses at home, but that public urination was NOT an option.

In my opinion, it is an example to me of their diminishing ability to make sound judgments about their actions, and their diminishing awareness of what is appropriate public behavior. Back in May, Dad had another incident where he needed to urinate quickly while they were in teh car. What astounded me at the time was their loud and public (windows down n the parking lot at the Sprint store) of Dad needing to get his penis out and put it in the urinal. They both carried on this conversation loudly (I could hear it clearly from about 10 feet away.) Obviously these are normal functions, but they would never have been so blatantly unaware of their social setting in previous years.
