Wow...

Maybe its just the maternal glow of pregnancy, but here's the shocking conversation I had with the 16 year old cashier at the grocery store last night:

Him: Is your last name Lawson?
Me: No.
Him: Wow, you look just like my brother's friend.  Like, you could be her mom

About a minute into bagging my groceries he looked up and said, "I mean, you could probably be my brother's friend's sister."  That's better.

I had the same thought. I hoped she was five years old, but got the feeling that she was also a teenager. This same check-out kid also said (about sean): "whoa, are those real glasses?" There were so many things I could have said (no, i just like to put glasses on the baby once in a while as an accessory....etc etc)-- it was so ripe for a smart aleck response that I just left it with a yes.
