Remember this post where I bragged about what a great shopper Liam is? Lies. All lies. Our bi-weekly shopping trip extended into Liam's nap time on Saturday, and he was not happy. As we strolled through the grocery store, Liam would occasionally cry out to ensure that all of the other shoppers knew that he wasn't happy. We passed one woman who needed to point out Liam's crabbiness. "There's that crabby baby again," she said, "he's throwing a fit." Of course, I found it necessary to be equally passive aggressive, so I turned to my sister and said, "Does she have to be so obnoxious?" It was bad enough that I was trying to frantically throw enough food for two weeks into my cart so we could get Liam into the car for a little nap, but dealing with an equally crabby senior citizen kind of pushed me over the edge.
Overheard at the Lake
I'm not sure if it's the cold or the dirtiness, but Liam's not a fan of swimming in the lake. We spend most of our time sitting on the beach. Here are a few of my favorite quotes from this weekend:
"It kind of smells like fish pee over here."
"Shark bones! Shark! Shark! Shark!"
Father's Day Craftiness
Liam created a hand painted card to go with the Game of Thrones books he picked out for his dad. Meanwhile, I attempted Paula Dean's peach cobbler. Only for him.
Uggh, people annoy me when they make a remark like that to a mother who is obviously having a hard time of it as it is and a baby who is just acting the way it should. Old people (some) need to think back and remember what it was like, we don't live in a perfect world where everyone doing groceries has a smile on their face and happy laughing children walking beside the cart.
ReplyDeleteIgnore it Amber :)
OMG, I can't believe someone said that about "the crabby baby!" What a witch! Ack. Actually, I can believe it, because when Ethan was 5 months old I was taking my little sister Christmas shopping. I had to change Ethan's diaper and the line in the mall bathroom was long so he began to whine and fuss and cry. Some woman pointed to us and said to her friend, "I don't know why people have kids when they can't control them." UGH.
ReplyDeleteI find it generally rude for a person to comment on a crying baby. You know why he's crying!? BECAUSE HE'S A BABY.
ReplyDeleteI shriek that at them with a really mean look. In my head.
He looks so positively adorable covered in paint!
Do not like it when people comment on crying kids. They need to get over it and keep on with their shopping!! Kids are kids, they are not going to sit there like perfect little angels :)

Really, why do random people feel the need to comment. I'd be like, like "Ugh, there's that crabby old lady again!!!" At least Liam was past his nap time, what was her excuse?
ReplyDeleteWhat the heck- why do they feel the nerve to comment. It is so annoying when people make unnecessary comments that are uncalled for when it is not their family.
