Apr. 5, 2006 - Comebacks I'll never get to use
My husband says that I don't harbor grudges...I "tend them, nurture them..." I have a hard time with "keeping no record of wrongs" and "not being easily angered". People say some of the stupidest things, and I wish I could just let it all roll of my back...but sometimes it gets to be too much. So here are some of those comebacks I'll never get to use:
"Yes, my daughter is short. I feed her all the wrong things and put lead weights on her head so she'll stay small."
"Yes, my son is loud. We are outside, and I'm pretty sure he is within noise abatement levels"
"My kids are getting dirty in the sandbox? There ought to be some law about dirt being outside!"
"My kids are talkative? You mean that's what that noise has been all these years?!"
"My kids are active? Yes, sadly, they failed Couch Potato 101."
"Yes, my son is bright. I purposely make him stay up at night and study so he can annoy everyone by knowing too much."
"Yes, I'm aware my daughter is wearing rain boots and it isn't raining...she has psychic abilities to predict the weather...you'd better go get your umbrella"
"Yes, my son isn't wearing a coat and it is 65 degrees out. He gave his coat to some unfortunate soul who thought it was cold."
OK, I feel better now.

These were great! I probably would be smart to have some of these in my back pocket for my guys - instead of just getting my feelings hurt by others' insensitive comments!
Nice to "see" you here!!

I hear ya on the comeback thing. When our twins were little, people would say the *stupidest* things like "are they both yours?" uh..no, one is his the other is mine. Or, are they twins? Oh my word - we lost the third! are the natural? seem pretty natural to me (as if it's any of their business!) I wish I could remember all the stupidity we heard. But anyway, I love your comebacks - you should use them sometime; you'll feel better :-)
