Before having a baby, I went to the grocery store from time to time when I was hungry and needed food. After a baby, the grocery store has become a very important event. I go there daily. Sometimes I go there more than once daily. The checkers know me and they know my baby. I know where to find everything I need and I know that in the morning, the grocery store music is the worst music in the whole world (I previously worked full-time and never grocery shopped in the morning). It is where Phil Collins lives.
Before having a baby, I could get in and out of the grocery store without having a conversation. After a baby, I get stopped by everyone and people share stories and guess how old she is and comment on her clothing and tell me about their family and show me photos of their children and grandchildren on their phones. People carrying small dogs in the grocery store come up to us and the baby and the dogs say hello. We are sort of celebrities, Bonnie and I.
