I’m pretty friendly with strangers and chatting with people is natural to me—most Canadians are super friendly.
That said, some people are just plain weird. Especially when you happen to have a child in a stroller with you.
Here are a few “WTF” interactions I had with people lately.
No one had told me I would have to spend every waking hour with a baby in my arms.
“It’s funny,” I said. “I was craving celery. I think I ate about half of the production of celery in Ottawa when I was pregnant!”
Mark is turning eight months on June 12—yes, already!
These are just a few examples of how the country makes life easier for parents on the practical side… and as a new mother, I appreciate it.
Everybody said so, “raising kids gets easier with time, it does get better”.
These wise souls just didn’t say when.
