Several months ago I was at Target looking for rice milk. Target hides the rice milk, so I asked a store-guy for help. He walked me to it, and asked, "Is this for you or are your kids allergic to milk?" I told him it was for my husband. As I walked away, I realized that somehow he knew that I had kids. I didn't have them with me, but he knew! By looking at me!

I look like a Mom.

I turned 31 the other day. Turning 31 reminded me that I look like a mom. However, I am very happy to be a mom. And I am very happy to be 31. . . rather than 41. I need ten more years to get used to that. At least 10.

Interesting that he knew you were a mom. But 31 is really not so bad. I recently just departed that age to move onto 32 - again not so bad.

The question is do you feel your age!?

Hopefully, a wonderful birthday!

Do you really put much stock in what a Target guy says? I guess this one could at least find the rice milk, but most Target guys I run into don't seem to have a very high IQ. So don't listen to him!

You're not just "a mom," you're a sophisticated mama. :)

Tam said...

Happy Birthday Emily! You look great. I am getting scared of hitting 30...it just feels like a new era. I hope 31 is wonderful for you!

Happy Birthday Emily!
Honestly, you always look totally fabulous. That target dude was thinking, "this chick is sure hot. Can't believe she is a mom."
