Late Term and Child Loss

Today at the salon...

...I was waiting for my appointment and I was next to two women chatting loudly. The one was telling her friend about how she had the nursery finished and couldn't believe how many toys were there. Her friend suggested to get rid of some and asked how much there was extra. The first lady said, and I quote, "at least a coffin full". WTF WHO MEASURES AMOUNTS IN COFFINS!!!!!!!! Now I am a fairly rational person and knew this lady (probably) meant nothing by it but COME ON!!!! That was crazy and I couldn't believe it. You can't make this stuff up........

    I don't know who measures amounts in coffins, but that is such a hilarious concept to me, I'm going to start! I used to measure in totes or wheelbarrows, but now it's all coffins. OMG LOL. 

  • That's just freakin' creepy. Sorry you had to hear that. Big hugs to you!

    I think that's creepy and horrible. I would have been tempted to comment on her choice of words but what to even say. I really don't like it.

  • LMAO! What an idiot! Thanks for the laugh though!

  • How can that possibly be used as a comparison? Maybe she works in the mortuary business??
