Comment about DS at story time this morning

ENI36

This woman walked into story time this morning and started talking to me.  She said her son was 11 months and I said mine was 13 months.  I asked her if he was walking yet and she yes.  I said mine wasn't yet.  She said "well kids with big heads tend to walk later because I guess it weighs them down or something".  What??  I was kind of taken aback considering she was implying that my son had a huge head that was weighing him down and I suppose her son with his normal sized head was able to walk around carefree without that weight on his neck.  FTR, my DS has a perfectly normal sized head .

She's full of crap.

My kid has a giant dome and he was walking just fine at 13 months.

That is a really stupid thing to say to someone, people can be so.... awkward.

Yes, it was awkward!  I had just met her!  I got kind of silent when she said that, just contemplating what she had said.  So then it was even more awkward, lol.

A) Jackson's head is in the 98th % and he was walking at 10 months

WTF?  Has she never interacted socially before, in her life?

I wouldn't have thought 2X about that comment, but my giant headed boy chose not to walk until 17 months.

Full of wierd! 

DS is 15 months and just learned top walk...grant it his head is WAY up in percentile while his body is not.  I just don't think the two are related. LOL

She did seem to be a little "off".  She seemed to come on way too strong for having just met me.

ETA: Ok, this makes it sound like she was hitting on me.  I don't think she was .

This reminds me of a stranger that told me that my infant had tiny "elfish" features. Um, hello, not a compliment, lady.

I can never think if stuff like this quick enough but you should have said something to her like "did you just learn to walk then?"
