Running with the Gang

The reactions of people nearly everywhere we go is quite amusing. I've never had just one baby, but I imagine 1 baby goes through life a little more inconspicuous than 2 at a time. With our girls in toe, literally everywhere we go people seem to feel obliged to make comments- everything from the benign and obvious statements like, "Oh, you have 2 babies," to the more agitating and less welcome comments like, "Double trouble," or "Twice the work." At this point honestly, most comments don't even evoke nor warrant a reaction from me, but I'll tell you what; if the comments seem plentiful when it's me and the girls... wow, throw in Lucy the dog, and people just don't know what to do. The sheer volume of under the breath comments, braking cars to gawk at the circus, or simply jaws dropping is literally mind boggling.
