shouldn't we talk about the weather

When I'm standing in line to get my juice, I often overhear the same conversation between 2 mothers. Their youngest is with a new nanny (people go through nanny's in this neighborhood like people go through cars in LA) and their oldest child is adjusting to sharing the limelight with the baby.  I get it. You don't sleep and you haven't had a night out with your spouse in months.  Your in-laws are no help either.  But do you have to have this conversation for everyone to hear? Yes, we all know about your life. So here's what I propose. Let's talk about something new. I wouldn't mind overhearing your conversation if you were talking about "The Beginners" or how MTV needs to bring back "I Just Want My Pants Back" for a second season. We've all become consumed with our own lives.  Michael Stipe was right.  Shouldn't we just talk about the weather?
