So we were in Lowe's the other day.  And, being 6.5 months pregnant I had to go to the bathroom, of course.   As I walk in, I see a diaper fly through the air and sink into the garbage.  As I went in further, I could see the lady who made the basket, and said, "Nice Shot!" with a smile. 

She said, "That happens when you have THREE children."  Quite smugly.

I THOUGHT  "I have THREE TIMES the number of children you have... " but I didn't say it.  On occasion I have control of my tongue.

Don't expect so much if you ask me if I know what causes "that".  Like a precious life is "That".  In that case, I say "Yes, and we're quite good."  My husband adds, "Want any pointers?"  But I'm not that brave.

Good job! I would have to lay in the floor crying and laughing if I heard Eric say that to someone. It would literally crack me up. I would be torn up in little pieces. I would love to have an update on Mercy. Hope all is well.
HUGS,
Christy

Yes, you did do very well. I'm pregnant with only our 5th, and the "Don't you know what causes that?" comments started coming when I was pregnant with our 4th. 50 years ago, that was the NORM for American family size. It's not THAT uncommon or freakish. By now, I've gotten braver and will answer something along the lines of, "Yes, do you need me to explain it to you?" or "Yes, would you like for me to draw you a diagram?"
