There is this one cashier at Safeway who is crazy, and Jesse always likes going to her lane to hear what crazy things she has to say. Today she started talking to me about Ian, and then talking about how hot it was inside. Here is how the conversation ensued:
Crazy lady: But it's a different kind of hot than normal people feel. Your mom might be able to identify (alluding to menopause).
Me: Well, I was pregnant all last summer and I was hot.
Man behind us: Wait, I thought it was common knowledge that cold winters made babies.
Me: !?!
Crazy lady: Not my first one. He was conceived on the hottest day of the summer. Both my husband and I called in sick and our bedroom was air conditioned. But, then I guess I was cold--
Man behind us: Well, my brother was conceived right before Pearl Harbor. My dad had three days of leave, and he didn't know when he was going to see my mother again.
Me: Have a nice day!
Crazy lady: Yeah, my second son was planned, though....
We chose to use a checker because the last time I was at Safeway I used the self-check and ended up yelling at the clerk overseeing it because she was so nasty to the lady in front of me and then even meaner to me. I just wanted a painless experience. I guess I learned my lesson.

Haley, I'm disappointed you didn't stay to hear the end of that conversation...it sounded so intriguing. I'm dying to know what else was said. P.S. I'm impressed at your crafty attempt and I love your hair.
I was watching Seventh Heaven with my mom once, and the parents were telling the kids about the day they were conceived. I was totally grossed out, and when I exclaimed "Who would do that?!", my mom decided to tell me about the day I was conceived. Conception stories are not meant to be shared...mom!
Allison, I cannot believe your mom did that. I completely agree with you. Let's keep the conception tales to ourselves.
