I was going to ask her what king of stroller that is....
Well, I think it's pretty darn funny. But, this is coming from the mom who dressed her 1 month old son as The Pope for halloween, complete with conical hat.
I feel her frustration. I bet she is tired and having to answer the same damn questions over and over probably fried the last nerve. I had a woman at my work who would run full bore at me down the hall to touch my pregnant stomach and scream in my face, "babbbbbbbeeeeeee!" squeal! And she wasn't the only one.
I wish I could have hung a note around my neck that said, "If you touch my stomach, I am going to touch your face with my fist"
Agreed, DJ. I've known several mothers of twins who privately express the same thoughts that mom put on her sign but generally force a smile in public.Well, I think it's pretty darn funny.

Look on the bright side Dana Jean.......I have people come up to me, put there hand on my belly, and ask Bud or Miller?
No, personal space.Whoa! Hormone rush?
No, personal space. [/QUOTE
I remember the ones in the office who would bend down and talk to my stomach. If I could have got my knee up that far their lower jaw
would have been up their nose!
I don't know why, but people forget boundaries and manners when it comes to pregnancy or babies. Some of those questions are personal and inappropriate. Some are just nice questions, but when you only have so much energy in the day, you don't want to spend it having to put on "the face" for complete strangers.
Sometimes you just don't feel like being nice to the 100th monkey who asks you, "C-section or vaginal birth?"
The kids are adorable.
