I've spent most of my adult life avoiding any social event that involves name tags and flowers, but for the sake of friendship decided to be a Girl in the Martha Stewart sense (as opposed to the Forever 21 sense) and for the second time in my life attend a baby shower. Truth be told, it was kind of fun (though, I left before the Presents Opening Ceremony). I sat by two cool women in their 60's. One wore lots of purple eye shadow and a spiky 80's style hair.

"Have you ever been married?" she asked.

"No."

"Good for you! Congratulations! I was married for 17 years...never doing THAT again."

The other one sat across from me and spoke to me through a bouquet of baby blue flowers, so I could only see the top of her head. She totally cheated on the game and told us all the answer.

I love talking to older women. You could preface anything they say with "Fuck it!" and it would make perfect sense.

Just for today, I enjoyed the baby shower.
