Local Woman Wonders If That Bloke Is Really Tall Or Just Pushing A Babyzen YoYo

A local woman has found herself pondering one of yuppydom’s great mysteries this afternoon as she noticed a young father pushing what looks to be a children’s toy pram.

Looking out the window of the Pisse Dans Ma Poche Cafe on Rue de Branlette shortly after lunch, public relations person Bronte MacDouglas saw the man with the pram and thought it looked askew.

She told The Advocate she’s unfamiliar with “that world” and her brain is “struggling” to reconcile with the proportions.

“Is that c**t over there really tall?” she said, making at least three people turn their head to see who just said that in the middle of a quiet cafe.

Our reporter observed local man, Damien Rutherglen, pushing a Babyzen Yoyo.

Damien is taller than average, closer to 190cm than he is to 180. With that in mind, Bronte shook her head and snorted.

She went to speak but first spat a rather large-ish yolk of phlegm into her empty coffee cup.

“Sorry, I’ve got the worst cold,” she said.

“But he looks fucking stupid. The baby’s head must be at his knee-level. You’d better hope he didn’t have a sort back!”

The Advocate thanked Ms MacDouglas for her candour and alighted from the conversation.

Later on, our reporter was able to confirm that Damien and his wife, Frisbee, decided to buy the Babyzen Yoyo because of how well it folds up.

“We live in an apartment because we haven’t got our inheritance yet,” said Damien.

“So space is at a premium. Plus, we don’t have a big car so this is good for that. But, uh, yeah. It’s a pain in the arse, I feel like I’m pushing the baby around on a skateboard with a cricket stump screwed on one end. I’d rather have a normal pram but alas, I do as I’m told.”

More to come.
