A few conversations that took place in the last few days. I really need to find a few good one liners I can say in response to people....have some fun with them :)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At a garage sale (Ariella was sleeping in the car):
Lady: "That's a pack 'n play"
Me: "Yeah, I know...I have 2 of them"
Lady: "Oh, do you do daycare?"
(I always love that question...)
Me: "No, I just have a lot of little kids."
::Silence::
Lady: "Well, how many kids do you have?"
Me: "Four"
::Silence again::
Lady: "You don't even look old enough to have one!"
Should I take that as a compliment or an insult????
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At another garage sale:
Lady: "Oh cute...Is she your first?"
(I always love this question too...)
Me: "Nope, she's my fourth."
::Mouths drop while making short grunting noises::
Lady: "You hardly look old enough to have that one!"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At Walmart at the checkout:
Lady: "Hi, Kids! Do you do daycare?"
Me (smiling): "Nope"
::Silence::
(I think this silence part usually comes from lack of knowing what to say to me....and it's usually followed by this.....)
Lady: "Well, then...you're a busy lady!"
Nothing like stating the OBVIOUS!!!

At Walmart at the checkout when our 13 yr old niece was with me--all the kids were at home--and it was the day after the schools in Seward got done for the summer:
Lady: "You girls glad to be out of school?!"
Me: "Uh, what did you say?" (making sure I heard her correctly...)
Lady: "Are you girls glad schools done?"
Me: "Oh, well she's not from around here" (pointing to Jenna)
It was then that I realized she was talking to both of us, so I continued...
Me: "And I've been out of school for a long time."
Lady: "Oh, sorry!"
It wasn't until I got to the car that I realized I should have told her I'm married with 4 children...that really would have shocked her!!
