This weekend, Rooster and I saw a woman walking and canoodling with a man twice her age. Because of her spandex fake-o jeans and awkward heels, I suggested that perhaps she was a hooker. Rooster, ever on a campaign to make me kinder to strangers, asked how I would feel if someone on the street thought I was a hooker.
Since I was wearing “Not Your Daughter’s Jeans," (a brand for the rounder lady), no make-up, sneakers; was holding a pacifier, and had just finished lecturing him on the importance of layering baby clothing, I told him that there wasn’t much chance of that. But if there was, it seemed pretty clear to both of us that my fee would consist of detailed household tasks to be accomplished right NOW. Also, free spirit and independence.
Rooster, you are handling my micro-management of our new baby-lives with saucy tolerance.
