Stroller Spotting

I was watching the final episode of The Gilmore Girls the other day. I’m very sad that this show is over, I have enjoyed it for years.  This past episode brought to light a new hobby that I have developed since having a baby.  Stroller spotting.

At first is was simple research.  Notice the type of strollers other mothers have so that I can figure out which one to buy.  Then it became an obsession.  I point the brands out to the people I’m with.  Look there’s a Graco, that’s a Maclaren…  the list goes on.

So I’m watching Gilmore Girls and Luke’s sister walks into his diner pushing her baby in this…

only in orange. A Bugaboo stroller!

Of course my husband walks in at this moment and sees my jaw hit the floor as I stammer (as quietly as possible because the baby is asleep).  “She has a Bugaboo!  Luke’s sister has a Bugaboo?!”

Because really, woman who make jewelry for a Renaissance fair and has a husband who randomly does poor construction work has an $800 stroller?  Am I really supposed to believe that?  If it’s true then I guess I need to start making jewelry!

This stroller spotting – it’s a sickness.
