As Joshua is in nursery now and I dont get to spend as much time with him, I decided that today I would treat us both to lunch. We went to the local watering hole where he was so well behaved and made a mockery of my complaints that at home he can be hard work and very demanding.
At the table next to us were an elderly couple whom for some reason Joshua could not take his eyes off. He seemed to delight in staring intensely at them. Undetered by his gawking the couple engaged me in conversation about his age, whether he was crawling and the stages that their grandchildren were at.
After we had finished our lunch (Joshua insisted on sharing mine) and bid the elderley couple a pleasant day we went to the bar to pay the bill. I realised I had left the wooden spoon behind that had our bill number on. As I returned to the table to collect it I overheard the couple talking about me.
"What a lovely young lady" they said. "Not like the usual teenage mums you see these days".
I walked away quietly confused. I didnt know whether to laugh or cry. I didnt realise I looked so young.
