Who’s Crazy Now?

Necessity is the mother of invention.  Today Lucas and I went to Target.   It being the holidays and a retail setting I kept Lucas extrrrrra close.  You know what I mean. it can get a little sketchy.  Last time we ventured out into the G.P. (general public) a lady sitting in her walker and wearing a Santa hat got PISSED at me that I wouldn’t let her PINCH Lucas.  That’s exactly what she asked, “hey lady can I pinch your cute baby.”  “NOPE.”  Then out of nowhere two men playing trumpets in the produce section fired up Silent Night.  I had never seen anything like it, right next to the apples.  Was the lady in a walker a  produce trumpet groupie, what was happening?  Right there Lucas started crying and I felt like it.  We came to buy diapers, not crazy. 

That being my last encounter in the GP I was on high alert.  Target was actually uneventful until my nose started to run and run and run.  I was franctic for a Kleenex, but I was in line to pay, no Kleenex, and I was absolutley trapped.  No Kleenex, runny nose, no way out.  I did what any quick thinking Mom would do on her feet.  I reached into Lucas’ diaper bag and grabbed a size 5 Pampers diaper and I blew my nose right there and then.  Oh yeah, I did it…sweet relief.  I was so proud of myself for my quick thinking until I caught a glimpse of the people in the line around me….there were no words needed to express how they felt about what they just witnessed, their horrified faces said enough.  All I could think to do was meekly smile and mumble “it was clean.”  I am sure they are relaying on their blogs about the crazy lady who blew her nose in a diaper, who is the crazy one now….LOL
