I was sitting in a waiting room to see my eye doctor when a mother walked in with a baby on her hip. I'm not good at estimating ages but I'll say the woman was in her 20's and the child was an 1 year old.
The temperature was sunny at 49 degrees with a light nippy breeze. The mother was dressed warmly in jeans, a shirt and jacket. The baby was dressed in blue jeans and a short sleeved shirt without socks or shoes.
I had to do a double take. I could not believe what I was seeing!
An older lady who was also waiting grimaced and whispered to her daughter looking at the baby. They were shaking their head in disbelief.
The mother evidently went to pick up something because she left after talking to the receptionist.
I could tell the child was chilled with his little feet and cheeks red. Poor baby.
Until Next time!

I don't know what she was thinking or perhaps we should say she wasn't thinking.
