baby double decker

Oakville, 2010.11.27

The other day as I headed for the bus stop I noticed something odd about the baby carriage that a woman was pushing down the street.

It had two small children in it, one underneath the other.

"Oh," I exclaimed brightly, "two babies." Then I noticed that the lower of the two was actually riding in the under-slung cargo carriage area, not a "proper" spot.

The woman said something apologetic, but the child in the lower position called up a query at the same time and I didn't catch it.

I'll have to keep the cargo-smuggling option in mind if and when we do have a second child ourselves.
