I am in Pittsburgh for a few days to see friends and family and am already learning point blank how I have become a New Yorker in just a couple years. Not only have others commented on my “New Yorker accent” **sigh** yesterday I informed Jamie that I could not go to the grocery store with Maximo alone because I wouldn’t be able to push a stroller AND a grocery cart by myself – so we were going to wait until today to go with her.
She just looked at me and asked, “Stephanie, what do you think single moms do?” I simply replied, “order online!”
Jamie rolled her eyes. “Stephanie – do you really think every mom outside of New York orders groceries online?”
I just shrugged. “How do they get groceries then? He is too little to sit up in kids seat…” I stated innocently.
“I am not even a mom and even I know car seats FIT in grocery carts. Reality check tomorrow – you me and Max are going grocery shopping. End of story.”
Oh Jamie, how I love you for dealing with me LOL… So today is my first “outing” in Giant Eagle with Maximo and car seat in the grocery cart. Back into my YINZER roots we go! Stay tuned for the outcome –
