s/o Twins question

I got the twins question along with a 3 minute spiel about how HUGE I am and she can't believe I still have almost 3 months left and I am going to have a gigantic baby. I was so taken aback that I couldn't think of a good response in the moment.

 I think it would be fun to come up with a list of comebacks that we can use whenever someone gives us their univited opinion.

 Now that I've had the chance to think about it, here's mine:

"I was worried about that too, but my midwife assured me it is normal for that to happen when you are growing another human inside you."

Re: s/o Twins question

  • I don't believe in cute comebacks.  If you feel like someone is being rude to you, then say so.

    Honestly, I don't see why people get so bent out of shape about what people say.  But, if I did feel upset I would tell people it upset me.

    Agreed.  When I got the twin question, I didn't feel bad about myself; I just thought the woman was an ignorant douche.  I actually felt bad for her being so stupid.

    Yes

    A well placed "wow" or "what an inappropiate thing to comment about" works wonders.
