Riley Addison

This is little Riley Addison, who was born at 1:40 this afternoon. She weighed in at a bit over 18 pounds and is 30 inches long. Her mom is a real trooper. Okay, she weighs 6 pounds, nine ounces and is the usual height, 20 inches or so. Mom and baby are doing well. Big brother Aiden is very excited to have a sister, as are we to have a new granddaughter. She doesn't know it yet, but she hit the lotto grandfather-wise. I don't know why I attract more than the usual amount of grief from idiots, but I do. Take for example the young woman that I waited on right before closing today. She was in the electrical aisle looking for outlet covers. She couldn't find them because I had carefully hidden them in plain sight, right in front of her. I pointed them out to her and maybe that is where I made "her list". Then, I made a huge mistake, I called her ma'am. I said, "Thanks for your business, ma'am." She said, "It's not ma'am, it's miss, how old do you think I am?" and not in a friendly sort of way. The reply that jumped to the front of my brain was, "I'm trying to figure out whether you age is higher than your IQ." What I said was, "Sorry."
