My husband and I planned a trip to New York city. We took our three-year-old because it was her birthday, and she wanted to visit a particular store that sells 18 inch dolls.

I’ve only been to the city a few times, so I was excited too! We had fun on the train and my daughter Emily was beside herself with happiness and anticipation. We walked the five blocks to the store and let her pick out a new doll. Then we looked for a child-friendly restaurant to have our lunch.

Not knowing the city well, we turned down a side street and that’s when a man came up to us and whispered something that made our eyes pop open in surprise. We hurried away.

“What did that man want?” asked Emily.

“Oh he wanted to give us a free poem,” I replied.

“Nope,” she said. “I heard him, and he said do you want free porn!” That’s a trip we’ll remember!
