Double Zero

During my shift at the Gap this week, I helped a petite lady with some jeans.  She was looking for skinny jeans in black and was debating between the zero and double zero.  Between teeny and teeny-weeny.

Usually, I try and relate to the customers.  As I compared myself to her, I really could not find anything to relate.  Until she said this,

"I LIKE THIS STYLE BETTER BECAUSE IT COMES UP HIGHER ON MY WAIST.  I JUST DON'T LIKE THE LOW STUFF."

Now that I've had Burl, I speak mom-talk, so I knew what she was saying and I knew I could relate.

So, I got down on me knees so I could look her in the eye, and with my teeny weeny voice (didn't want to frighten her with my big voice), I said:

"Me too.  I hate to say it, but I love jeans that come up higher so they don't cut off my stomach.  I might get down to my pre-pregnancy weight, but my stomach is not the same."

She totally related to that and we had a moment together.

So, I encourage all those Mamas out there with there mom-stomach to embrace it.  We're all in this together.
