Dear Elsie,
Last week we did our first ever indoor mother daughter mall walk. (Yes, we did the outdoor mall in California. The breadth of experience I have exposed you to gives pause, eh, Elsie Pants? You’re welcome.) Two complete tours of the indoor mall to be exact. We might have stopped at one except for the buckets of rain which made the run to the car seem preventative. You particularly enjoyed PJ’s Pet Store, which is going to be our new special place come summer when the Toronto humidity has me on edge. At which point we will head to PJ’s and hang out with the budgies and the adorable puppies in kennels the size of our shower, who according to PJ’s proud proclamation receive ‘a reasonable amount of exercise’…and all the weird people that frequent PJs. Don’t worry, we’re not weird, just them. And by them I mean, for example, the well dressed man with the Lululemon satchel engaged in a sick love affair with the green cockatoo. He stroked and whispered sweet nothings to said cockatoo for a WHILE before he noticed us. We were of course staring at him and not the other birds which threw him slightly off kilter. He straightened up really quick, trying to act all nonchalant with, “This is a nice one, eh Ma?” Enter ‘Ma,’ who proceeded to step over your stroller to meet her own warbler for a two o’clock rendezvous. Lesson learned: Birds trump babies (even cute babies) in strollers at PJ’s Pet Store. Mothers beware.
Next time we grace the gerbils with our mother daughter love?
Love, love Mama

Avoid the gerbils and hamsters too. Vicious little vermin. Go with the guinea pigs has they sweet and cuddly while making a cute warbling when they are excited. Used to have them when I was a kid. Nere a problem, unlike the various gerbils and hamsters that have tried taking off a finger tip or two.
ew. rodents.
love it – laughing out loud…as I prep to purchase diapers (for Elsie) for the first time in my LIFE!!!
