Whenever I...This post had me laughing in tears. Whenever I'm by myself and I get those crazy, silly comments, I always announce, "Well, you haven't seen my husband. He's SUPER handsome." Or, just for fun when I have all five, I love to see them get worked up when I say, "and this is only half of them!" Hee hee. Oh what fun to tease those who fail to appreciate the fun of children!Therese Jacobsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-995986269927512712.post-61613170442352392662009-10-30T20:23:58.770-04:002009-10-30T20:23:58.770-04:00I feel your pain.

Sometimes I'll try to plan ahead and will actually spend time rehearsing witty, holy, charitable comebacks. LOL! They never sound natural coming out of my mouth though. Maybe vitriol just suits me better. ;)Hallie @ Moxie Wifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03305104583222425124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-995986269927512712.post-67490233170278554442009-10-29T22:27:51.338-04:002009-10-29T22:27:51.338-04:00Hey Sharon - It WAS Grant - your husband, not mine...Hey Sharon - It WAS Grant - your husband, not mine - who told us the story of his great comeback.

He will be so lonely" or my personal favorite "Oh man, you don't want an only child. They can be terrible." (that was the only time I was fast enough on my feet to respond with...Well, that explains what's wrong with me.) It is incredible how people don't seem to mind giving their opinions on this particular topic. <br /><br />Like someone else said, your family is beautiful and you manage them with seeming grace. Good for you. And Grant is right, your kids will be paying for my social security. So here is what I say "Thank you!"<br />xo<br />AnneAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12061891044351647233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-995986269927512712.post-21897755053925573352009-10-27T17:28:53.956-04:002009-10-27T17:28:53.956-04:00Emily, do you want to know what is funny?

Most comments people make are the "you've got your hands full" variety. But one, lone, triumphant time I was over the top filled with glee when I got to borrow your husband's line to retort to a particularly rude overpopulation comment - "Well, my kids will be paying your social security!"Emily J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01132106976424535611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-995986269927512712.post-22846013913497890282009-10-23T23:07:31.606-04:002009-10-23T23:07:31.606-04:00Thanks Ang!

I am one that is always without words in the moment and then wish for a do over. It sounds like you handled yourself just fine. One would hope that she went out to the car, realized what a asshole she was and then felt great remorse....you never know. Any cleaver or hostile banter would have been wasted on her anyway...as my dad always says, "you can't argue with an idiot", and that is obviously what you were dealing with. Either way, you get the last laugh....your family is beautiful!Angienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-995986269927512712.post-26905201161922879672009-10-21T13:38:59.528-04:002009-10-21T13:38:59.528-04:00I am heartened by all of the acts of violence agai...I am heartened by all of the acts of violence against the elderly.
