"Perfect"

The women's friend, Laney, has a baby shower. Samantha keeps bringing up her weight, which is hilarious. The "I don't have a baby, everybody drink!" line was hilarious. Carrie may be pregnant, after not getting her period, and the baby shower is the preview... A preview of the life she didn't know if she was ready for. Miranda's outlook on Hansel and Gretel was very humorous. I loved Samantha's reaction to when Laney stole Charlotte's baby name. I love Samantha. She's so humorous. Carrie spends the entire day watching children play in the park, questioning if she will be able to do it, but gets her period on the way home. It was visible that she was upset about not being pregnant.moreless

Yes, I admit it, it's true. If you do not have any children or really care about kids the baby shower is a dreaded event. There are only so many times that a single woman or even a married woman can coo over tiny clothing or rattles or any of that stuff. The games are lame and for some CRAZY reason alcohol is almost never served. It's almost like a stint in jail but without all the scariness.
Of course Charlotte has a grand time until she finds out that someone has stolen her future baby name ala George on Seinfels. And that is why you keep your baby names to yourself until that kid pops out.moreless
