Wow. Just wow.

So I went to visit a friend from high school a few days ago and things were nice, it was someone I hadn't seen in awhile and it was good to catch up. She was excited to meet the baby and seemed ecstatic to hold him and play.

 At one point she looked at me and said "He is so cute! You know what they say, ugly people make the cutest babies!"

I was shocked. At first I thought she was joking and would start laughing and say something else but that was it. She kept playing with the baby and talking to him and left it at that. I understand that my husband and I may not be the most attractive people in the world, but I feel like that is an extremely rude thing to say. 

Should I just brush it off as nothing or should I maybe say something to her? I haven't spoken to her since and I'm not really sure what to do..

    How terrible!  I don't think there's any way to bring it up now without sounding petty.  I know it's a shock when it happens, but if she (or anyone else) says something like that again, I'd respond, "Wow, I can't believe you just called us ugly.  That's really hurtful.  I think it's time for you to go."

    I would have been tempted to say, "Well then your kids are going to be totally adorable!" or "OMG, did you know you just said that out loud."

    If it wasn't someone I saw on a regular basis, I would probably brush it off. But it would probably make me not want to hang out with her again.

    wow.  That's really rude.  It sounds like you aren't really close friends with her so I would probably let it go and just not make any effort to call her or get together with her.  If she reaches out to you, calls, and asks if something's wrong, then I would probably tell her that her comment hurt your feelings.

    This.  How rude!  Sorry you had that happen to you, some people just do not think.

    I agree about the first part, it would sound petty. But I wouldn't say, "that's really hurtful" makes you sound vulnerable and IMO target for another rude comment. I probably would call them a biotch grab my baby and walk away, but that's just me.

    This is RuHde

    I like to hold grudges and would put this in my memory bank just in case this wonderful person decides to reproduce. You could always make a comment like "Aren't you relieved your LO doesn't have your nose.. I was worried about that for you" and then laugh and smile REAL BIG.

    Jeeseeus I need booze. This lack of sleep and alcohol-ness has made me a real Biotch.
