Yesterday at the Commissary

(in the check-out line talking with the cashier, a girl roughly 20)

Oh, your face is red, do you have a sunburn?

No, no, I got a chemical peel Monday night.

OH, I've thought about getting one of those. Did it hurt much?

Uh, yes.

Really? Well are you sorry you did it?

You know, it's just kind of like one of those things that seems like a great idea at first. I mean, at first you're all excited, and then by the time the pain hits and you realize it's a big mistake you're too far invested to just quit.

(about this time Ashlyn pushed Haley down, Owen did a flip off the side of the buggy and Skylar threw up and started screaming)

Oh.

Yeah. It's like having kids. Totally the same thing.
