This morning I did my good deed for the day when I helped a young mom carry her 3-year-old son and stroller up the stairs of the subway. This was on my into the subway. So I get extra points for walking all the way downstairs and then carrying the stroller back up the stairs and then walking down again to catch my train.
I've been thinking a lot lately about having a baby in the city. Brian and I don't want to get pregnant for at least a year from now, but when you're in a big city there is a lot of planning involved. Mainly, we have to find a bigger apartment and save lots of money. But I also think how I'll maneuver through New York with a baby and then a toddler and then a kid. It seems like really hard work. So when I saw the mom's face look so desperate today, looking up from the bottom of those stairs, I thought of my future self. So I had to help her in hopes that a few years from now someone will help me.
The reason I mentioned the extra points is because I'm hoping that kharma comes back to get me today in the form of a beta key for Little Big Planet. Brian has been waiting for the past 36 hour for that download to show up on his PS3 and I can't wait to play that game.

Thanks, Becky for thinking of me and carrying that stroller up the stairs. I want that beta key real bad. :)
Yes, if we have a kid in this city, I am gonna be worried all the time.
so if the karma thing were true, than the next time i see that mom with the stroller i will be sure and trip her. -doobie
what a nice citizen you are!
p.s. once babies grow into actual kids, that's when it gets easier...just more expensive though.
