The One Where the Crickets Chirped

This week, I have a little shadow. I'm watching her for the week; a way to ease into this new empty nest situation.

This morning we were at the Farmer's Market, when a lady asked "how old is your little baby?"

I answered "she is around 3 months, and she isn't mine, but since my 3 were, all, now in school , this is a nice way to transition".

"OH, I'm sorry, I didn't look up, to see your face, when I asked that question."
Said in a manner that said I was too old to have an infant.
