I was running a bit late.

So I was quickly walking to the car while simultaneously putting on my shoes and loading my purse.

Zeke yelled from the other room:

“Where are you going, Mom?”

“I’m going to baby shower. I’ll be home soon.”

He comes running into the kitchen and starts following me.

“You are going to take a shower?!”

“No. I’m going to a baby shower, Zeke.”

“You are going to have a baby?!!?”

“No. Zeke. I am going to a baby shower. Like a party for a baby.”

“The baby is having a party?!”

“Basically. The baby is still in her Mommy’s tummy but it’s a party for her family.”

“What baby?”

“Alyson’s baby. That’s in her tummy.”

At her house?”

“Well, no. Not at her house. At someone else’s house.”

By this time I am in the car and my window is down because he is still frantic.

“Alyson’s baby is having a party in the shower at someone else’s house?!”

“Yes. Zeke. That’s exactly right. I’ll see you soon.”

    one of my favorite childhood books were the Amelia Bedelia books….she had this same problem with ‘showers’ once too…she even sprayed the guest of honor with a garden hose ;-)

  2. Awesome!! Plain and simple! Both the story and the new look! I didn’t mean the look is plain and simple b/c it is smashing! But the story was simply awesome! Anyway……
