Conversation overheard at the playground





"That is SUCH a beautiful baby...oh my"

"Well naturally, I mean take a look at the mother oh my, stunning"

"It really takes your breath away"

"I know, no need for makeup, just one of those naturally beautiful women"

"the baby too, naturally gorgeous. Perfect in every sense of the word."

"Yes Estelle, I think you've hit the nail on the head"
. . .oh okay, maybe it wasn't exactly what they said, but it was close.

. . . well, maybe it wasn't what they said at all, but maybe it's what they seemed to be thinking by their incessant staring.

. . . oh, okay, okay so maybe it was just us at the really cold playground freezing our asses off, and listening to some pompous 20-something mom chatting on her portable in verlan.

It's the playground for Pete's sake. You're supposed to pretend.

I thought I had the cutest baby boy! I guess I was wrong. I guess they're all equally cute!
