White Trash?

I have arrived. I have now officially received the "look at that white trash" stink eye while shopping at the local Safeway.
I was out running errands with kids in tow all afternoon and the last stop was Safeway. The baby was a bit fussy so I checked his diaper and sure enough he had chosen that opportune moment to blow out through the side of the diaper. I changed him and cleaned him up in the van and then decided that since I only had a few things to get he would be fine in his t-shirt and diaper for a few minutes. For heaven's sake it is a balmy 70 degrees out! While in line at the check-out I received the nastiest once-over "you're white trash" stink eye I have ever seen emitted, from an elderly woman who got in line behind me. I chose to ignore it at the moment, but my immediate reaction was: Really? Me? Why don't you look one isle over at the woman with 4 shades of purple in her long nappy hair screaming at her mullet haired children? Really? I guess I deserved it for taking off his poop covered pants and not having a spare at the ready;)

I would have done the same thing. Obviously that woman had no children.

I just did that with Paden yesterday. It was just pee on him though. Unfortunately I didn't notice he had peed through until after we had walked across the entire parking lot. It makes me wonder how many stink eyes I got.
