Life Snapshot

Observed at CVS yesterday afternoon (when I went back to pick up the botched prescription from Wednesday):

A slightly harried-looking young woman with three little doorsteps, one of whom she was holding in her arms while she was herding the other two around, trying to shop. The little one was being distracted by gnawing on a pack of condoms she apparently was planning to purchase. I was thinking, ‘If he bites a hole in that, there may be another rung in the family ladder.!’
