- Watch as I become THE STAGE MOM FROM HELL. This is the real reason why you'll never see my girls in a child beauty pageant.
- See how I scale a massive cliff with a toddler, a four-year-old, and a stroller. It doesn't go well.
- And learn why I broke down crying yesterday at Starbucks. You totally would have, too.
Also, because I didn't have anywhere to put them but I wanted to share, look!
Who knew it was so easy to answer the question, "Boxers or briefs?" You can buy these from my favorite paper doll purveyors at Dover Publishing. I'm only sharing this with you because I get Dover's weekly e-mails and this announcement cracked me up.
And review wise, you only have to deal with two this week: One good (and good for your budget), one bad.

OOOH! Paper dolls! And there is even an "election night scorecard?!?!" WOW! Neat-oh! :)
Im not a member at parents.com but had to comment......
FYI you should NEVER take a stroller on an escalator. You would be surprised at some of the stuff that happens. Just search for stroller on escalator on youtube.com. You would think thats common sense BUT I still see people doing this all the time. Next time take the time to find an elevator.
Guess what? There WASN'T an elevator. I'm not an idiot.
But thanks for the assvice.
OMG, the third story about the woman with cancer has me bawling. I share your hope at the end.
Lord, how many times have I felt myself standing in front of Mr. or Miss. Gaw. I hate the escalator. I have three and by the time it's over I'm sweating like I just worked out at the gym or something.
The story from Starbucks is heartbreaking and happens to me, too. I hope the same thing you do.
three kids not escalators
Your observation at Starbucks was so touching. It's amazing all the thoughts and feelings that can surge through us for another stranger... a sweet human... in just a few moments through a plate of glass.
You made me tear up a bit... thanks for that moment.
At work, our escalator is an "instigator" about twice a month, tho' it usually claims an balance-challenged seasoned citizen; the young 'uns that negotiate it treat it as a source of entertainment (as did I at that age). And I see all sorts of 'stuff' taken on the escalator, including walkers, strollers, luggage, utility carts...
Your Starbucks comments just confirm what your readers already know about you: funny, observant, and a good heart, too.
This has nothing to do with your actual post except to say thank you for the link to the paper dolls.I've been looking for something like this. :)
