It sucks to be you.

We were in Sears today. R was looking for jeans. Two young ladies came in. I would have said they were girls except they were looking for “him” a swim suit, and the other said “X has this one.” And one of them was carrying a fairly young (1-3 months) baby.

The baby wasn’t happy. He looked hungry. Red-faced and squirmy.

I stood next to the fitting room, and in my head, I sang, “You’re going to miss this. You’re going to want this back.”

They moved on. Soon I heard the non-baby woman say, “It sucks to be you.” The other disagreed, saying the baby was just tired.

Who in their right mind would tell someone, “It sucks to be you”???
