Anyone have a good sarcastic response for me to use?

I typically deal with stupid people with heavy doses of sarcasm, but for some reason I haven't been able to come up with a good response to the following conversation that I've had so very frequently lately:

person: "When are you due?" 

me: "july 12"

person: "oh, that's cute that you think the baby will come on your due date.  You know you could go over right?  July 12 is just a date" (or some variation of treating me like a moron for "expecting" my child on my due date which I don't) 

Sorry, I'm just getting really frustrated with this and am looking for some smarta$$ response to throw out there when it happens.

    I would just remind them that they asked what your due date was and that you are not a psychic. I know it isn't a zing.

    Or you could just tell them to f*ck off. I secertly hope you choose this one.

    not sure why people are responding that way since they asked.....weird!

    I'd say something like "Really?!  I didn't know that.  It's funny, but even though I've been pregnant for 9 months I really haven't done any of my research on what to expect."  Then shrug your shoulders and see if they get it.  People are so annoying.

    Yeah, I've never heard anyone actually say this to a pregnant lady, but I've gotten it from a LOT of people lately.  Co-workers, aquaintences, FREAKING FAMILY!  It is super annoying.  I just don't understand the point of saying something like that.  I am very well aware that the odds on me having a baby on my due date are very low-it's just a day right now.  I've just been telling people "I know-baby will come when she's good and ready" but I really want to throat punch them.  People suck sometimes.

    hmmm I have tonnes of good responses but most of them tend to get me benched according to some sort of obscure TOS that is invisible to the human eye.

    When people are asking me when I'm due - I tend to ask them....

    "Do you have a catcher's mitt handy?"

    "How are you with boiling water and fetching towels?"

    That usually scares them into silence.?

     I like this one, it actually relates to the question you asked specifically. Good luck with whatever you choose!

    how about ..."well since I'm not psychic and dont' know when the baby will actually come, the best ball park guess I can give you is my due date"....what a dumb ass person....they obviously didn't have their baby until way after the due date and their still butt hurt about it!
