Little Girls, The Elderly, and Cost-Co

I don't want this blog to come off the wrong way like I'm bragging about how cute my kids are (although I do think they are pretty cute) :). But that is not the purpose of this blog. I realized today why I do not shop at the Superstition Springs Cost-Co. I usually go the the Cost-Co in Gilbert, but today I was closer to the Superstition one so I went there. First of all, are the snowbirds back already or are there just a lot of retirement communities around there? I am not trying to be rude or offend the "elderly", but they happen to make my Cost-Co trip take a lot longer than usual today! It was all about Emma's hair! She usually gets complimented on it when I style it like this, but today was ridiculous! I must have had at least 8 or 9 people (mostly older women) stop and have to touch Emma's hair or ask how I did it, or how I get her to hold still to do it. I actually had one lady chase me down calling after me "Excuse me, excuse me, mom?!" She then made her husband come over to see it ( he was catching up with her because she literally CHASED me down!). Does her husband really care what my daughter's hair looks like? Then I would get questions like "Oh, are they twins? How close in age are they?" And of course, true to their personalities, Emma would chat up a storm with anyone who would listen, telling them all about preschool today, and Derrick would try and bury his head against Emma and not be seen at all. And honestly, my secret to this hair is that it is the only way to do Emma's hair and have it stay all day long. She can't pull it out and it doesn't fall out. If I know we have a long day this is the hair-do she gets! So, the next time I have to go to Cost-Co I will go to the Gilbert location and if I'm in a hurry I will let my kids go looking like rag-a-muffins and maybe we'll get out of there a little faster than we did today! :)
