Chaos

We went over to Paula's house and had a fiasco:

Alyssa and I went for a walk to get some diapers and left Odin with the family. Grandpa George had come down to see the baby and was brought by Matt and Denise, and Kellie came over so everybody was there to watch him. It's only a 15 or 20 minute walk both ways. Apparently, Odin started screaming his head off while we were gone, he was hungry.

The only reason I mention it is because of how everyone reacted. Kellie and Matt had gone for a ride in Matt's new truck and when they came back, Paula was in the driveway frantically waving at them to turn around and go get us like it was some extreme emergency. Denise was pretty calm, and George was swinging him in his bassinet to calm him down. Rylie was a little freaked out. But I was laughing my head off that they thought it was an emergency. I mean, babies cry. It's in the job description. We were called to hurry home when we were about 10 minutes away and we didn't even increase our pace because we knew that he was just crying and big deal.

It's like babies crying in public; I only have a problem with it if the baby is crying in the library or the movies. Then it's just common courtesy to leave. But I can't stand people who give you dirty looks if you're on the bus or in the grocery store. I mean, babies cry, live with it, if you had a baby crying would you want people giving you dirty looks? I've had lots of babies cry in a place I was hanging out and I didn't care because babies do that and I'm sure the parents didn't want me judging them.
