While you were out...

Awesome things happen when the rest of you are in the office.

Awesome thing #1: I take Maddie to the dr’s office. Her car seat weighs a freakin ton, making it difficult to open the door. On our way out, some lady helps me out and in the spirit of being cordial, makes small talk saying “you know what they say, if evolution was real, moms would have more than two hands…” “ahahahaha, oh yes,” say I, in the same cordial spirit. We head in the same direction in the parking lot and I see ominous fish plastered on her bumper . She is not joking, she really doesn’t believe in evolution. I wanted to chase her down and say “excuse me, ma’am, I am taking my ‘ahahaha, oh yes’ back.” But the car seat weighs a freakin ton, so Maddie and I go home in our car with a Greek flag on the bumper (from the proud previous owners).

Awesome thing #2: A UPS guy delivering something to us today asked me if I am the nanny or if I live here.

Awesome thing #3: Maddie threw up…in my mouth! It was totally my fault, of course. I was doing the exaggerated goo goo ga ga as I was bouncing her above my head. She is awesome.

P.S. You know those fish with the little legs and the ones with the word Darwin in it? How exactly is one to read them – “I am a believer AND I do not deny scientific facts” or “screw all the people with the fish on your bumper?”

P.P.S. Completely unrelated but very important, but Henri is a great brother and Maddie lights up every time she sees him.
