Anyone walking around the UES on a lovely weekstart like today can't help but notice the plethora of baby strollers. They are as ubiquitous as tori burch flats and half stepped-on dog poop. But do you know how much these freaking things cost? There are lots of mid-road strollers with all the bells and whistles,safety requirements, etc. But too many of these Upper East Siders are pushing around the equivalent of one and a half pairs of Louboutins! Come on, what baby needs a $1,000 stroller? When I was young I'm pretty sure they put a blanket in a cardboard box, plopped it on top of a skate board and we were good to go. But worse yet, what you don't know is that this stroller is only one of 3-4 they have at home. There's the lightweight portable stroller, the standard stroller, the jogger or all-terrain stroller and the bugaboo for fashion. I think we're a bit out of control on this one. Don't even get me started on the stroller accessories. New Yorker's make too much money for their own good.

say what you will about your upbringing, there was definitely no cardboard box and/or skateboard involved in the transportation of you or your siblings. i think your memory is a little clouded (could it be the smoking, drinking, reckless shopping) just a thought. love ya
