I see you baby

It had been far too long since I wrote a post about how much I hate something and after logging on to MySpace I figured out the perfect thing to hate– babies. More specifically, baby showers.

ed note: I know some pretty cool mom bloggers and I guess I like their babies (of course I like your babies!) but that’s about it.

I’m hitting the age where people are having love and getting all pregnant and stuff. This triggers them to think that because they spend 9 months getting fat that they have the right to require their “friends” to buy them shit. And by friends I mean people they never talk to.

I’m starting to believe pregnant people in my town have no friends or maybe they are just super desperate for guests because I’ve been invited to at least 5 baby showers of people I barely know.

The strangest request I’ve gotten has been from a girl I went to MIDDLE SCHOOL with. She moved away around that time and we weren’t even friends when she left, but thanks to good old fb (the devil) she looked me up and sent me a message inviting me to her baby shower. My the best part is how she worded it. Here is the message:

To: Maxie
From: Suzee (is that a real name?)

Hey girl! How have you been? Well I’m pregnant! I’m having a baby shower so send me your address if you want to come.

…ummm. Do people actually respond to things like that? Who would say they actually WANT to go to a stranger’s baby shower?

Of course I did the mature thing… I ignored the friend request AND the message. I rock.
