Me: "So, can your baby walk yet?"
She looks at me like I'm a little nuts and says: "Oh, of course she can walk!"
Me (not out loud): :\ You act like I'm supposed to know that. You have been here for THREE HOURS and she hasn't been allowed off your lap no matter how much she struggles and points at the other toddlers playing nearby...
She later explains: "I don't want her to get messy."
This was at a backyard barbecue at a friend's very-safe-for-little-ones house. It's called a hose-down in the sink and a change of clothes, folks. And believe it or not, this was not her first kid.
