As I drove to meet two friends for lunch with Baby Ethan crying in the backseat, I multi-tasked. I had gotten myself and the baby out of the house in fifteen minutes. The baby looked cute in his giraffe overalls and lime green shirt. I hadn't showered and felt a sense of accomplishment for remembering to brush my teeth.
As Ethan quited down, I reached for my blush and started to apply my make-up. Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed a bunch (a gaggle!) of geese by the side of the road. There were tons of goose babies (goslings!) too. I was instantly afraid that someone would hit them and wondered what kind of mother goose would take her babies by the side of the road. As I judged the mother geese, I realized the irony. I was putting on make-up while driving with my baby in the backseat. What kind of person mother would take her eyes off the road to put on make-up?
I would like to formally apologize to geesekind for being so quick to judge and thank them for teaching me a lesson.
