The Amazon Gift Registry I Didn’t Create

January 29, 2008

Today I received an email informing me that someone purchased a gift from my Amazon Baby Registry!

Two Problems:

1. I’m not pregnant. (That’s not a problem for me - just for Amazon.)
2. I never created an Amazon Baby Registry.

I was curious, so I signed in to view my registry. Lo and behold, there was no registry.

Here are my theories:

1. Amazon is having some serious database issues.
2. Amazon is hoping I’ll create a Baby Registry because I created a wedding registry.

#2 would be highly stupid. First, they would be informing about a gift that in fact was never purchased from a registry that was never created. Then they would be assuming that I’m trying to get pregnant after my wedding. And you know what they say about people who assume.

Nevermind the fact that some couples are trying to get pregnant and maybe they’re having complications or miscarriages. (Just to be clear, we’re not trying to get pregnant. Josh has 2 kids who now call me mom and they’re plenty for us, thank you!)

So it must be #1. I mean, Amazon would never try something like #2 (would they?).
