Fiddlesticks.

I work in an office. In a small room by myself. But that doesn't mean that I can't hear everything these women these women talk about. So- what do moms talk about at the office?

  • Weight. No shocker there. Every girl over the age of 16 talks about weight. My favorite, though, is when they talk about their weight while eating an ice cream sandwhich.
  • Kids. Some of these terrify me. I find myself praying, "Please Jesus don't let my mother have told her friends these things about me!" Seriously- I know every embarresing story imaginable about these kids.
  • Celebrities. Yes. It's true. I know more about Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber (he's a fave) and Katy Perry since I have started the job. I thought at first they were just screening things for their kids to listen to. That theroy was squashed when I heard two 40 year olds get way too excited for Katy Perry to come to Dallas. They plan on going.
Last lovely thing about my office. The British receptionist. She is all things British. She drinks tea, admires the Queen for her hunting skills (p.s. I totally thought the whole dog and hunting thing was only in the movies til the other day!) and says hilarious British catchwords. My favorite is collywobbers.
