Hello world! It has been quite some time since I have devoted my time into telling my adventures, and for that I am deeply apologetic! Anyway it's summer!!!!!! Holy cheese sticks I love college, but I really needed this break. So being the poor college student I am, I needed a job this summer. Now to give you a little bit of background I have two older sisters and a little brother. My oldest sister has two sons one being ten years old (he is literally me in ten year old boy form which is hilarious), and the other is 7 months old. My sister was in desperate need of a new nanny to take care of my beautiful baby nephew, Cooper. Naturally I immediately jumped on the opportunity of getting paid to play with a baby all day. What I didn't know was what came with this job. Now I shall tell you my adventure of the day.... So Cooper and I decided to go shopping today. Well actually I decided to go shopping, Cooper just spit at me when I asked him if he wanted to go (which I took as a yes). My store of choice? Target. Oh my oh my Target is Gods gift to mankind. I could spend every single cent I have in that store and wouldn't feel bad about it in the slightest. Having Cooper in tow sometimes makes things a little difficult so I have to be prepared wherever I go, making sure I have all of his crap (literally and metaphorically). Bringing his diaper bag, my purse, his car seat, and his stroller, I make my way into the store. Now being only 18 years old and obviously not having a ring on my finger, I immediately get some dirty looks as I walk into the store (whatever people suck). You would think that this is what would bother me the most, but oh no it gets worse. As I am shopping around the clothing I start to be followed by a trail of women who seem to have nothing better to do than stare at Cooper. For some reason this really irritates me. I mean seriously HOW DARE THEY FOLLOW ME AND MY BABY?! Oh yeah that's right I'm not a mom and this is not my child. So since I am not one to hang on to any kind of anger, I decide to have some fun with the situation. Cooper is talking away with his fake baby Mumbo jumbo when one woman speaks up behind me and says "oh I think he just said momma!" (Trying to provoke some crazy mom reaction out of me I guess). To which I reply with a chuckle and say, "oh he's probably talking about his other mom" with a subtle wink. The woman stares at me confused when a realization hits. She thinks I am talking about a lesbian lover, which then makes her flustered and she walks away. Now even though I am not lesbian, at that moment I almost wished I was so I could provoke reactions out of people, with uncomfortable, lesbian related, humor. I guess the lesson today was to take the situation you have and make the most out of it. I may not be an actual mom, but those strangers sure as hell don't know that! I promise to post more soon!
