I have seen many women with their pocket pooches at the
grocery store before (mostly little old ladies), but last night’s CoM moment
really surprised me and had my 10 yo daughter trying hard to contain her
laughter.
While walking through the grocery store I noticed a nice
looking young lady in her twenties carrying what looked like her pet cat in her
arms. On closer inspection I realized
that it was actually a stuffed animal.
It was gray, about the size of an older kitten, and floppy so as to be
able to drape over her arm like a real cat might.
After we passed her, I turned to my daughter and asked her if
that girl was carrying a stuffed cat or what.
She smiled and said with a giggle that it was. I am really hoping this was just a psych
class assignment or something where she had to go out in public with a somewhat
real looking stuffed animal and see how many strange looks she got. I hope the look I gave her wasn’t too
strange.
