Life has been taking many interesting turns for me lately, including one today down the baby food isle at the grocery store. Yes, you heard right. The baby food isle. It was a hesitant turn, too. Since I only look 18, I didn't want anyone thinking I was a "teenage mother," but making my way to the cans of mashed sweet potatoes and purree plums I went. My face flushed as a woman in her 40s glided past.
Not to go into detail, but to help heal my bod I currently have use for soft foods, and many of the softer fare in the adult section, I am allergic to. So, as I began remembering all the times I fed my baby brother when I was 12 and 13, I recalled one thought that has always stuck with me, Gerber's purreed plums were not that bad. In fact, they were so good I remember sharing them with my brother. So, I decided I'd give baby food another try! Now, before you decide that I've gone and lost my mind, know that I would never, ever eat mashed vegatables unless I was desperate! Well, maybe the sweet potatos ...
So, back to today ... After choosing my baby fare, I caught one of the women at the check-out staring at my fingers. I think by that time I had gotten over the initial embarrassment, so, while still while in a slight hurry to exit the store, I was able to find her imploring looks and staring quite funny. Wow!
Anyway, if you haven't yet had a baby and want to know what baby food tastes good, I highly recommend the apple/blueberry sauce and banana pudding!

Ok... that's when you look at it one of two ways. You slip a ring on that's just a gold band, or flip a ring over so only the gold band is showing. OR you ignore the looks and realize they could totally misunderstand the situation... 1) your health issues. 2) You're shopping for a baby shower of a friend of yours. 3) You're mother sent you out for a few items. 4) You're a mother yourself... and if so, so what!
Hope you recover soon!
Very true.
Good ideas! :)
Yes, I feel much better about it, thank you. Have to go again soon, though. Those little jars don't last long and since I was experimenting I only bought a couple. So, a back to the baby food isle I will go! ... :)
