We Found Our Babies in a Macy’s Ad
IP and I sometimes joke that we’ll be blessed (cursed?) with fraternal twins if we decide to embark on parenthood. The girl will look like me and be full of good cheer (and be a consummate Daddy’s girl), while the little boy will look like IP and will want nothing more than to just kick back, relax and be left the hell alone (like me!).
Today we received the catalog for Macy’s Biggest One Day Sale. I was flipping through it, lamenting the fact that we have no space for a KitchenAid mixer, would like to buy new luggage and a Magic Bullet blender, and was outraged that there weren’t any nice leather jackets for women showcased within. I flipped through the kids’ section, giving the items a cursory glance, until my eyes fell on this picture on page 20:
Holy hell. Brown hair and eyes on the girl? Check. Cheeky grin? Check. Light hair color and blue eyes on the boy? Check. Bored expression that indicates his wish to be asleep? Check. IP and I gawked, laughed, pointed, then gawked again. All they needed were a stuffed scorpion and stuffed rattlesnake (sounds creepy, but they’re both quite cute!) to make the picture complete. We’ve actually failed to throw away the catalog while the rest of the mail has gone into the trash.
However, I would not be dressing our twins in velour track suits. Major un-check.
Hi, Princess and Dom! Thanks for making Mommy and Daddy some money by modeling for Macy’s on the side. We love you!
LOL. Too funny!
