People Don't Get Me. Alternate post title: I'm weird.

While the boys were in preschool yesterday, I was out doing a bunch of errands. At the card store, I bought webkinz for my boys*, and mentioned to the clerk that I had three year old twins (it actually was in context of the conversation; I didn't just randomly bring it up).

The clerk, and older woman, asked, "Wow, three year old twins! How do you keep track of them when you go out?"

So of course I pretend to look around anxiously, and said, "Oh no, where *are* they?"

She looked around anxiously, too, and asked, "They're here with you?"

I started laughing, and said, "No, they're at preschool."

She just gave me an odd look and handed over my bag without another word.

I mean, I'm not sure how to answer that. Like most parenting twins tasks, you just kind of do it, and if you can't do it, you bundle everyone back into the car as quickly as possible. There you have it, parenting advice from a crazy woman.

*Thank you to everyone for your advice and generally supportive comments on my peanut rant the other day. I've decided to make gift bags for my boys to trade for their candy (I figure my non-allergic child probably doesn't need any candy, either). The main thing in the gift bags will be a bat and cat webkinz, since my lil' guys love their webkinz, and I'm a bit obsessed with the site myself. Please tell me I'm not the only parent who really doesn't mind too much when the kids want to play webkinz :)
