Oddities

Today, while waiting for the 22 bus I saw a young mom pushing a stroller. As she passed, I looked in and saw the baby, or at least what I thought was the baby--it was covered in multiple blankets (and rightly so it was wicked cold this morning). There was no smiling face, or little fingers, just a mess of afghans. I'm obviously not a mom, so I don't know how this works, but what is the point of taking a baby out in this type of weather? The mom wasn't running, so it didn't look like an exercise thing...it just looked weird. The baby can't possibly be enjoying a walk with its face smushed up like that.
