famous?

if my boys knew what "famous" meant,

they'd definitely think we were celebrities

given the amount of attention we get from complete strangers 

when they 4 of us go out.

dinner on the go at the mall.

costco.

(yes, I push the cart and pull the stroller...

a girls got to do what a girls got to do)

the zoo.

we don't mind being "famous"...

most of the time it is fun.

the boys love the attention

and i get to meet lots of new people.

but, sometimes...

i do want to say something like...

"you are the 10th person in the last 10 minutes who

has asked me if they are twins 

(or told me that you have twins who are now ?? old)...

and that is great and all,

 but it is only a matter of time before one of these boys

has a complete meltdown

and believe it or not, i'm not just walking around costco 

with a stroller & a cart for fun..."

it ain't easy being famous.

Sometimes being famous gets in the way of doing what you want(need) to do.
