a little like the pots and pans cupboard.....

so, i think that in every home in america (minus ms. stewart's) there is this one cupboard...often where the pots and pans are stored...that brings on tirades insane enough that if anyone was watching they'd for sure never speak to you again. just opening this cupboard and having a stray lid fall on your toe or carefully selecting the pan you want to use only to have the whole pile of them come crashing down at once is enough to make you change your mind about what to make for dinner. i know that the thought of digging out the crock pot often changes my mind, "i'll have cereal, thanks." on occasion i've watched chris shove the pans in with his foot and then quickly close the door, and he's never really smiling when he does this or saying anything that glorifying.

so, last night we discovered what will become our second "pots and pans cupboard." a stroller. i haven't really laughed that hard in a while. watching chris try to fold up various strollers, while taking out the car seat portion, and then trying to unfold them was like watching a lid roll out onto the floor--hilarious. i've always loved the words contrived and convoluted....strollers are a perfect match! could there be more, let's be honest, CRAP, attached to strollers? i know, i know--all you moms will tell me how great it is to have a cup holder big enough for your big gulp sized cup of coffee and a cavern large enough to hold a small adult in the bottom of the stroller but i'm really just looking for something simple to shuttle a baby in from a to b without having to take a xanax and work up a sweat trying to unfold the thing. a few pictures that don't really capture the hilarity of the evening.....as one of the salesmen said...."you really just need to find a stroller that you don't feel like breaking when you use it."
