People Watching 1
I have always been a people watcher – and it has gotten more interesting when I see people chatting about Lorna.
A few days ago, after a doctor’s appointment, Lorna and I had lunch out. The hostess asked Lorna, “Is this your first one?”, to which Lorna replied, “no… it is out first three.”
The hostess looked a little confused, so Lorna let her off the hook by saying “I’m having triplets”. She got all excited, doted over Lorna for a second, and then I watched as she bounced around to a couple of the waiters and waitresses, telling them something that would immediately make them look on our direction.
Today, we went and checked out the pediatrician we are thinking of using. They were expecting us, and as Lorna approached the counter, they started making a fuss about how they have never taken care of triplets before. Another mother of a patient came into the reception area and started hearing fragments of the story, looking with intent as she put together the story. She finally asked Lorna, “Are you having more than one?” Lorna said, “I’m having triplets”. the lady looked shocked, and then the little girl with her said, “That would make my belly hurt…” to which her mom whispered to one of the nurses, “That’s not all that would hurt…”
You can no longer blend into the woodwork. Everywhere you go, people will look your direction and talk with you. It is a lot of fun! You meet lot of interesting people just going out to the mall, etc. (Sometimes it is difficult though when you are in a rush and can’t stop to talk.)
