A baby shower with a twist

At the tender age of 27/28, it's likely that many of your friends, like mine, are in monogamous relationships, getting married and having children. My best friend had her baby shower today (So excited for you Ashley!!!) and it was a blast. I am so excited for the arrival of the little dude! Yay!

I sat with a rather rowdy group of girls - Jill, Kelly and Michele. We go back to the days of High School. We have always managed to have some of the most ridiculous conversations since that time. Today was no exception. As Ashley and Bobby opened the little treasures that will help keep their little guy clean, warm and comfortable, we couldn't help but compare those presents to how we could use them in our daily lives as well. Here is what I remember of the conversation... It was kind of a train wreck.

  • Adult size burp cloths... You know for those unexpected times you just need to puke, you should probably have something to wipe your mouth.
  • Adult diapers and ice diapers... I think both are pretty self explanatory. Some need them more than others.
  • Poodles... I kind of was lost in the concept. vnajdhtnweuiafdvakwejt
  • Child size smoking robe... inappropriate to the n-th degree. But for some reason, the thought of a tiny human wearing a robe and slippers, walking across a mahogany floor smoking a cigar is fucking hilarious.
  • Jill's first girl... she will be a Snooki and gave us permission to dress her like Snooki when the time is appropriate.
  • Kelly's first child... She said it will be a cold day in hell when she has any kids
  • Read to your children... Jill shouts "My mom didn't read to me" and clearly it has affected her entire life as a person. Kelly taught her to read.
  • Michele's first child... her cat Charlie. She and Tom love to put yogurt and ice cream on his face and watch him try and lick it off. Seriously I can't wait for them to have kids.
  • Bridget's first child... I'll probably have triplets, knowing my luck. I will make baby noises at my child/children until the day I die. Gosh the lucky future little ones. And the lucky future partner... One word comes to mind. WINNING.
  • Ashley's first child... will be sanitized on a daily basis. And frequently baby-sat by the mothers. All of them, collectively.
What an amazing group of friends I have. I can't wait until we ALL have kids....
