I was invited to a baby shower earlier this week. Ugh. I don't have children by choice. My sister doesn't have children. I have never babysat. I just don't "do" kids. And baby showers are just a little too precious for my taste. I don't particularly relish the requisite games, and I feel like a fake smiling and oohing and ahhing over all the precious baby-ness of it all. But, out of friendship and respect for the woman who invited me, I agreed to go. Which also meant I had to buy a gift.
