Reason to laugh #1:
Mike, the girls, and I went to REI to look at their double strollers. We had been there for a while and Evie started to get restless so Mike took her on a walk around the store. Layla was sleeping in her car seat which was on the shopping cart near me. A young girl (I'm guessing to be about Jr. High age) stops near the cart, looks at Layla, then looks at me several times.....followed by this conversation.
Girl: She's really cute
Me: thank you
girl: How old is she?
Me: 7 weeks
****long pause and several more glances at Layla and me*****
(finally) girl: Are you babysitting?
Me: (with a big smile on my face thinking she MUST be asking because I look so young....lol!)....but I say, No, she's my daughter
Girl: Oh
****long pause*****
Girl: Does she look like her dad?
Me: (wanting to laugh and now realizing why she thought I may have been babysitting) Yes, she does:0)
Girl: Does he have dark hair?
Me: yes
About this time, Mike and Evie return....
Girl: Oh he does have dark hair, but your other daughter has lighter hair (I wasn't about to try and explain yes, but she still looks exactly like her daddy).
Girl: How old is she? (asking about Layla again)
Me: 7 weeks
Girl: (glancing at me again)...then pats her tummy, looks at my tummy and says, "wow, it really went down)
Me: (lol), yes
Girl: I thought it would take at least two months
Me: no response, but thinking....well we are a week away from 2 months...lol!
I had many interesting thoughts about this social encounter, but needless to say it put a smile on my face all week!
Reason to laugh #2:
So I am at the grocery store, I'm pushing Evie in the "race car" shopping car full of groceries while Layla is sound asleep in the Baby Bjorn. I stop to put a bottle of wine in the cart (for our dinner guests we had on Wednesday evening). As I put it in the cart and start pushing it again, another lady says to me, " I think you might need two of those!" LOL! And this was with both my girls being perfect angels!
Reason to laugh #3:
Came across this new emoticon this week and it just made me giggle:
( . ) ( . )
It means...."time to breastfeed" I apologize in advance if one day I decide to post this as
my status on facebook!
Hope you all found multiple reasons to laugh this week. Have a wonderful memorial day weekend!
