I don't get much time without the babies. My nightly showers are glorious times for me! That's about the only time of day that I get to just relax [and I'm a big fan of scalding hot water]. I also enjoy going to Target a couple times a week to get the necessaries, which is usually baby related! Anyways, as I was out on one of my Target adventures tonight [to get baby things, amongst others..] I came across this strange lady.
As I roamed the aisles I saw this very homely looking woman along with her equally as homely mother. This woman had a very nice Baby Bjorn baby carrier strapped to her front...with no baby in it. I glanced around thinking maybe a friend was holding a tiny infant somewhere, but there was no little baby to be seen anywhere. Then I thought, ok she must be trying it on for size...getting a good feel for it by wearing it through all the wonder that is the baby section. However, I saw her throughout the store with the lonely Baby Bjorn still intact. I got to thinking if she was pregnant and just couldn't wait for her baby's arrival. Or perhaps she had a baby at home, but wanted to feel like it was right there with her at all times. Or, she could of had separation anxiety from her pregnant belly, who knows. I was half surprised to find the carrier empty. If I were her experiencing one of those issues I would have at least put a small dog in the carrier or maybe a baby doll if I were feeling extra spunky.
She had to have some sort of reason for sporting the carrier throughout Target, but I guess I'll never know the true reason. What I do know though is that she must have been blind... because while I was trying to make a very important decision on which baby spoons to purchase she decided she too had to look at baby spoons. Mind you, the baby spoon section is about this (__________) big. Obviously I had a baby by looking at my items in the cart. And it was apparent that I had a very big spoon mission on hand-- but her and her mother stood about 2 inches away from me and had to talk about the pros and cons of every single package of tiny spoons to each other. Not listening to anything they had to say I stood my ground and made my decision. Just as I turned away they decided they too were done crowding the spoon section and walked away with no spoons in hand. Needless to say, my Target venture was a little bit of a let down with this baby faker. Why they couldn't wait 3 minutes for me to wander away, I just don't know.
Moral of the story: Don't ruin my Target time while wearing an empty Baby Bjorn.
