Say Wha...?


Say Wha...?, originally uploaded by theredheadedlefty.

At the Children's Museum, I had this conversation:

Me: How old is your daughter?
(My attempt at making polite conversation)

Mom2: 12 months, last week. How old is yours?
(Because you always return the favor)

Me: 21 months, yesterday.

Mom2: Wow! She's so tall!

(Me thinking, "So you're one of THOSE kinds of moms.)

Me: Yeah, she is tall, I guess! It's interesting, because both my husband and I are of average height.

Mom2: Well, don't worry. She'll slow down.

Me: I wasn't worried, actually.
(MAKING THE FACE, thinking her next step was, "So much for her having dainty feet.")

Mom2: ...

Me: Well, goodbye then.

Mom2: Oh, bye bye!

Wow! That was an interesting exchange! Mom2: Well, don't worry. She'll slow down. Who says stuff like that?

Love your blog, by the way. I just surfed in (probably via MyBlogLog or BlogHer) and I'm glad I found it.
