Moms are people, too

One of my bosses was running a little late for one of his meetings and kept this girl waiting for him outside his office where I sit.  This girl was sitting here chatting with me about her babies.  She has a 2 1/2 year old son and a 10-month old daughter.   Her hair looked like mine (probably brushed when wet, but not since then) and she wore clothes that were of wrinkle-free fabric.  She was telling me how she just starting feeling like a person again and was proud of herself that she was able to put on makeup this morning for the first time in a long time. 
 
So you can imagine how bad I felt when I had to politely tell her that she came to work with her shirt inside out.
