Every so often here on the Upper West Side, yet another Mommy and Me type hurries across the street with a double-wide stroller, and neither of its seats is occupied by the usual fare. I want to ask if she knows that, in her mad dash across Broadway, her dual babies bounced free in tandem, dumped onto the sidewalk, and are no doubt flailing on their backs (babies land on their backs as surely as cats land on their feet). But I am quite sure they would look at me as if I had actually dumped the babies out myself.
fresh-baked at 05:32 PMGod, not sure I can agree. I think a lot of women with double strollers feel embarrassed, as though they were wearing "I had fertility treatment" t-shirts. Or I was dumb enough to have two kids so close together that they needed a stroller at the same time.
She was probably on her way to pick them up at the evil thing known as a "playdate." Trust me. I am a nanny. (Actually, if she was a *nanny,* she may very well have dumped the kiddies on the street! )

In any case, I suspect there's a certain amount of "look at me, I've had two babies" going on.
