Parenthood

I was in the YWCA this morning, waiting for a 10 o'clock appointment who was running late.

As I was sitting there, several young mothers entered or were leaving with their toddlers, I presume before and after swimming classes for the latter.

Just about every other mother who entered or left the building had a cell phone either held up to her ear with her hand or held up to ear with shoulder.

For some reason, I found this distressing.
