for sale baby shoes never worn

This is fiction, trig. :-)

I'm (finally!) too damned old to be havin' babies. Took my own family until my 39th birthday to stop sniffling "You'll change your mind," though, and I can certainly see some baby-crazy potential gramma doing something like this. Can't you?

You are obviously aware of Hemingway's response when asked if he could write a novel in six words or less. I don't think anyone has ever been able to top it.

And you've been stewing on this since Christmas... Mother-in-laws have a job to do. And you thought you had the designated evil bitch award all wrapped up...? Just wait a sec.

Recipient should: Give her a gag or some duct tape back. Maybe she, too, can take hints. Or fill them with something meaningful and regift them to her.

VR - very funny! So glad someone took this tack - I thought I' be weeping all morning over the sad, sad stories in response to the challenge! (you should go back to Wayne's post and link your response in his comment section - I think some people aren't aware of it!! Hence the weird sympathy you're getting.)

Only you. Masterpiece!
Now, PLEASE tell me I won't have to suffer through a response and front page where someone is thrown out of some pool hall and has to walk halfway across the country to trade bad bridge work (as in dental) for a pair of baby shoes and that the story is true.
