Dear baby gifts,

How is it that you manage to taunt me at every turn? If it isn’t online, while browsing through my daily blogs and favorite online shops, it’s at the store. Today was a classic example. I took my ten year old brother with me to Target. Our mission? To purchase cake pans, a carving knife, iced tea, distilled water and a few other miscellaneous household items. I managed to steer clear of the baby section, and the greeting card aisle with its generous assortment of New Baby! congratulatory greeting cards.

Then we hit the checkout lanes. There, hanging on the edge of a candy display, was an abandoned sleeper, size newborn, in pink, with tiny flowers embroidered along the collar. Next to it was a discarded baby themed Target gift card.

I’m pretty sure my uterus shed a few tears.
