Steps

As I got off the train today there was a young mother with her baby in a stroller who didn't seem to know how to carry the thing up the stairs. Being the nice person that I am, I offered her a hand. She was thrilled that someone was helping her and she kept yacking about how nobody ever helps her. The first few steps up the stairs I kept thinking "what-if-I-drop-the-baby-what-if-I-drop-the-baby-what-if-I-drop-the-baby" but as the infant got heavier by the step those thoughts changed to "lift lady, lift lady, liiiiiiift" The mother was hardly carrying any weight at all. And then a guy walking behind us said "women helping women, that's because women know what hardships other women go through." What? Feel free to take over anytime, dude. Or shut up, have a great night, and God bless you too.
