coffee shop talk





There are things in life that make me want to puke, scream, cry and laugh all at once.




This is one of those times:





Lady1: (cooing at her baby) aren't you so pwecious? You are the smartest baby in the world!



Lady2: (watching lady1 and then leaning into her own baby) You are the smartest baby in the world! Aren't you my lovey dovey?


Lady1: (eyes cut over to lady2 with annoyance) You know, the other day he did such and such [insert some cute baby thing here]



lady2: Really? Well, the other day my baby did [insert some other cute baby thing here]






and the conversation continues, etc, etc, etc....challengingly and boastfully.





In such circumstances I don't respond or compete I just think to myself I bet their kids can't do these things and picture them in my mind:





body contortion in the car



knock over a beautiful christmas tree like professional lumberjacks


put more pasta in their mouth than an adult could


Rock out the crazy hair like a rockstar


and drink a bottle using no hands




I have amazing children! Happy Mother's day to me!
