Babies Having Babies

As my pants get tighter, I know that I will soon be needing maternity clothes. So, today, my mother and I did a little maternity shopping. I envisioned us having a ball, toting around bags of bought items, frolicking through the mall arm in arm, and running up the down escalator just for fun. While the scene wasn't quite that,  it was certainly fun, for the most part.

The fun that we have together is had no matter what we are doing. But, with the anticipation of August, it made it a little more exciting. That is, until we walked into Motherhood Maternity. A store that was highly recommended by a friend for their friendliness, wonderful service, and fashionable clothing. Yea, ok.

I don't know if it was because we were in a different mall, because it was a different day, or because this Motherhood Maternity store decided to staff Cruella DeVille at this particular store. The old hag walked up to us and immediately asked, "Are you buying a gift for someone?" I guess I should have been taken that as a compliment, and I might have even basked in the glory of the comment for a mere one second. Then, when my mother told her that we were shopping for me, the grumpy grape gave a sad, disappointed look. Her wrinkly face screamed, "ughhh, babies having babies!" 

I wanted to punch her in her face, but instead I laughed it off. We both knew exactly what her look was for. Apparently she has never heard of a baby face! She did not say another word to us as we browsed the store half-heartedly. I certainly wasn't going to buy anything here now and allow her to get any sort off commission of us. 

I simply decided that I would make this woman even more mad. Since I work in a school, I decided to shout across the store to my mother, "Hey Mom, do you think this outfit would be good for school?" Stupid lady didn't know I was a teacher, so of course she assumed I was a student. Sucker!
