TMI day at Great Clips

JR,insanity — Valerie on April 2, 2010 at 2:46 pm

JR is a big boy. Even though he’s moving back towards the 70/60th percentile, he’s still just a big ol’ chunk of baby. So, I’ve gotten fairly used to people making comments when we go out. We usually get things like…

“Those cheeks are killing me!”
“Look at those thighs!”
“How old did you say he was?”

Today was different.

I took JR into Great Clips (shut up, it’s cheap and he’s 1) to get a haircut.

When we walked back to the stylist’s chair she looked at JR, looked at me, looked back at JR, and looked back at me, obviously focusing on my hip-area.

As if that weren’t awkward enough, she then said, “So, did you have a C-section or an episiotomy?”

(!!!!)

“Um, a C-section.”

“I wish I had done that when I had my son. When I had him, they gave me an episiotomy that was about four inches long.”

I just blinked a lot and then asked her to not cut his bangs too short.

  4. This is seriously great. I so wish I had been there to see your face when she said it. I imagine you were having “throw pie in face” thoughts….

  5. Dude… too much information for my liking! Especially since you’re in front of mirrors that capture your very expression… ack!

  7. So I saw where it said that Anna commented on this post. And I thought to myself – I don’t remember commenting on this post, I wonder what I wrote. So I clicked on the comments and read what Anna wrote and thought – weird, I really don’t remember writing that. And then I realized it wasn’t me. It was some other Anna. I’m so slow.

  9. Yuck, way TMI. OTOH, what’s with the Great Clips snark? I’ve had far better haircuts there than at the expensive places!
