Babies: 9 - 12 Months

lady who works at the gas station told me my kid will be "slow"

bc he was born at 36 weeks. her exact words were "his little brain ain't all the way developed so he gonna be slow in the head". um what? she also told me i was a liar when i not so nicely told her that he's been on target with other babies his age and to stfu before i beat her ass.

  • Surprise Well. Obviously she was a little slow herself.

  • You could have said, "Oh, is that what happened to you??"
  • I cant believe someone would say that to you! How frickin rude. I think I would have been too shocked to come back with something.

  • Well then there isn't a chance in hell for my kid who was born at 28 weeks 5 days _shit! ?Some people are so ignorant.?
  • And really cajun - shows how much she knows...DS was born at 35w6d and I have documented evidence that he is a genius, no joke. The other day, he said "mmm" while he was eating his breakfast. Then he said gagadaeeeeeeeeeehdaya, followed by a high pitched scream, but that is beside the point.

    Take THAT, weirdo Target lady. 

    Edit: Weirdo gas station lady, lol

    obviously! bc everyone knows gas station attendants are also medical drs. clearly we have a couple of vegetables on our hands!

  • Well if the lady at the gas station said it, it must be true.
  • Yer lil baby ain't smart. 

    What a tool.  

    Wheee!

    Please don't tell anyone else that you're going to "beat their ass."  It's just not becoming of anyone.

  • It really saddens me when I think about how dumb some people are. Really. Gas station lady, case in point. I try not to dwell on the stupidity of a high percentage of people in our society. Sigh.....

    This would have been a golden response.  How unbelievably ignorant and rude of her!  I didn't realize positions as gas station attendants came with degrees in pediatric medicine.

  • You didn't really say you would "beat her ass", did you?  I just assume that when people say that they think they are being joke-y.  
  • unfortunately i did. i tend to run my mouth when i get mad...def something i need to work on
  • Probably none of my business but how did said gas station idiot lady know he was born at 36 weeks? Do you know this chic?
  • i had no idea who she was lol. we were chatting while she was checking me out. she commented on how big he is (in a nice way) and i told her that he was big when he was born even though he was 4 weeks early.

     Ahh. Well. She sounds like a peach. Smart...successful....screw her.

  • How rude of her!  She obviously is an expert in all things baby, so much so that she is working at a gas station.
