the chasm between kids and no kids

"Mango is awesome." they said as I walked up to join the conversation at the buffet table at that baby shower over the weekend. "You know, Penelope Cruz and her sister design a line for the store."

"I think my sister shops there," I said, "I think there might be one in Galway."

"They're in the large city centres," they said, nodding wisely, "Paris, London - it's probably in Dublin."

"But Zara's really gone downhill," someone else said, "just in time for us to get one."

"But whyyyyy can't we have an HandM?" came the moan.

The host's greeting to me as I came in the front door? "Ha!!" She yelled, seeing that we were wearing the exact same shirt in different colours, "Love the COSTCO!!!"
