Hired Help

The other day I was walking around our local mall with OBB in his stroller. As I passed through a children's shoe store, a lady in the store was gushing over OBB and then she looked up at me and said "Are you the baby's mother?" What??? Who else would I be? His grandmother? His babysitter? Did I not look put together enough to be his mother?

So that evening, as I was telling my Wonderful Husband about this, his reply was, "well honey, I guess she thought you were the hired help". Nice. That's exactly how I want to think of myself.

That would have been a better answer for my husband to give...
