Oh, It’s Tuesday: Has This Ever Happened to You?
Funnily enough, my friend photoshopped her head onto Betty's body a few weeks ago -- almost as if she knew that I would one day need a pic like this to illustrate an article. Sallie are you psychic?
Yesterday I was in the Carter’s outlet in Pismo Beach, buying WAY to much clothing for one Betty Angela Hibbard. And while my husband and I were justifying the large purchase by saying we were providing her with an entire summer wardrobe as opposed to say being rampant consumerists, easily dazzled into handing over our credit cards by bright colors and sale signs, a woman with a baby boy came up to us and said, “I hear Carter’s is pretty true to size and Target runs small. What do you think?”
This has been true in our experience, but I could barely answer her, because her baby, who was 6 months if he was a day, had a face that looked exactly like a small version of the grown-up he would one day be. Betty seems to change day-to-day. I have no idea what she will look like once she hits puberty, but looking as this kid was like looking at one of those parodies of baby comedies where they put a grown-up’s head on a child’s body. Completely freaky.
Has this ever happened to you? The grown-up head-on-a-child’s-body-bit, not the getting-suckered-in-by-a-sale-bit. If you’re American, I already know that’s happened to you at least once.
