Don't lie...you do it....

You push your stroller into an elevator...and in there is another mom...and within seconds of seeing that other person both moms have already looked at the other baby, and compared everything there is to compare to their own wonderful child...to onlookers you'd never know this has happened because it seems like it's only been 2 seconds before one of them says.." awww he/she is soooooooooooo cute...how old? Name? Current milestone,Weight at birth, weight now....etc" and it goes on...but what is REALLY going on is terminator like note taking...you can almost see the red eyes. Now I'm not saying that we lie when we say how cute another baby is, we're not, well I don't, but that doesn't mean I'm not going to see what that child is doing that mine isn't or the other way around. Furthermore, just like men exaggerate about last night's date...we tend to extend the abilities of our impressive offspring. " oh yes Frankie feeds himself...it's amazing since he's only 2 weeks old!" We all know that is complete bullsh*t...but we're not going to let the other mom know that we know, even though she really knows that we know....PHEW....I know it's exhausting. The ending goal is to prove to yourself that your kid is cute, amazing ..and right on track. Which of course he/she is....right?
