boo boos vs. boobies

Since most of my clothes shopping when I was a kid took place in Goodwill or Salvation Army and rarely resulted in acquiring anything that resembled cute or fashionable, once I got to the point in my life where I could shop in a store that sold NEW clothes...well...Shopping became my favorite pastime, my therapy, my drug of choice. Scoring something cute, that also happened to be on sale...whoo hoo!

Until I got pregnant. I won't even go into shopping while pregnant because just thinking about it makes me hot and tired, but I thought once I lost those extra 50lbs it would go back to being fun...not so much.

Now most of my shopping trips end in tears, either mine or my kid's and rarely do I come home with anything useful that I can wear with anything else. As I write this I realize how little shopping I do now compared to before getting knocked up...hmmm I'll have to check with DH to see if that was his master plan all along...

Anyway...Every once in awhile the stars and moons align, I get to feelin' thin and cute and the Pea (that's my kid, cutest ever on the planet, I am only SLIGHTLY biased), happily sits in the cart while I pick through countless racks of clothes.

I had one of those days last week, I should have just bought a lotto ticket.

So I am standing in the TJMaxx dressing rooms about to try on some of the cutest dresses ever (all on clearance!) and as I take off my bra the Pea exclaims
"mama boo boos!"
I'm slightly mortified because I know everyone can hear, but whatever...they probably think she is talking about an injury or something, battle scars if you will and hey, I can live with that...

BTW boobies are firm and pretty and sit nice and high on ones chest... those of us that have nursed a baby only have boobies if we are willing to have plastic surgery or are under the age of hmm lets see 20... I am in neither category, I have boo boos.

So there I am with my boo boos a hangin' and I decide maybe I should turn my back to her. She then exclaims (mind you TJMaxx has UNISEX dressing rooms)
"mama see you butt! mama BIG butt!"

OMG...so much for shopping as therapy.
