Baby Store Fail No. 1

We finally dragged ourselves out to Babies R' Us to see about a crib and a stroller and other things, like baby carriers and bottles and stuffed animals. Daniel and I are not easily impressed by adorable baby bedding, but we are super eager to buy an expensive stroller that can easily push a baby through all sorts of terrain and coffee shops and city streets.

We quickly noticed that young couples like us were banding together. People were making friends in the aisles and offering unsolicited advice about which crib to choose. We tried to avoid them by leaving the crib section before they did, and making our way to the strollers. Unfortunately, they caught up to us right as I exclaimed, "Look, Dan! This one has cup holders for the parents. Sam and I could put our wine in here!" Then as a joke, I added, "Plus, it has a compartment for our cigarettes!" Daniel burst into a fit of giggles and then I started. We couldn't stop laughing.

One of the nice young couples tried to show us a really nice Graco stoller. It was nice, but it looked bulky and it reminded me of being boring. It's too late. We're sold on the $450 wine cups stroller.
