weird questions
So... for all you moms out there who read this- here's something I'm wondering. Do you get asked me most ridiculous questions EVER? I've learned to just laugh at the questions that people ask... if I didn't laugh at them, I would probably go insane! Here's a few of my favorites, and what I want to reply.--Aren't his feet cold?
Don't you think that if my baby's feet were cold I would have him in socks? Or MAYBE the wiggle worm kicked them off between the car and here and they are completely MIA. Would you like to go to the baby section and buy some new ones for him? Oh and by the way- he is SWEATING.
--Is he hungry?
Maybe... or maybe he just likes to chew on his fingers. And don't you think that
I know when he needs to eat?--Does he have a pacifier?
What are you talking about? I have never heard of a pacifier. This must be some newfangled invention I've never seen... oh wait, I remember now... he HATES them. And if you want to hear him scream more- well, go ahead and try to stick that "magic" thing in his mouth... I dare you!
--How old is he?
This one isn't so bad... it always just turns into a ridiculously long explanation that he was huge when he was born- which brings me to another favorite that I get when telling people what he weighed:
--IN YOU?!?!!
What funny questions have YOU been asked?? :)

Preach on sista!!! You KNOW how I feel about the "Is he/she hungry question?" Grrr.
"You're right! If she's crying then she MUST be hungry. There's no other reason that a baby cries EVER! Now that I think about it, I totally forgot that I fed her 8 hours ago and she hasn't eaten since! I'm so glad you reminded me to feed my child! I mean, I'm not with her 24 hours a day and I don't know her schedule at all so I'm so glad, for the sake of my child, that you're here to remind me to feed her!!" Can you tell I'm a little bitter about that one? :o)
I don't have the 'mom' questions left, but I love the horribly dumb questions at the end of pregnancy. People have been asking me for weeks- "Haven't you had that baby yet?" I mean really, people- does it LOOK like I've had the baby yet? Isn't it obvious that the child in still inside of me. Today is 39 weeks and people treat me like I'm four months overdue. I just want to scream sometimes. On a happy note, Hello dear Rigdon family. We love keeping up with ya'll.
Steph, that is sooooo true! I totally agree. Everyone thinks they are a expert on your baby! Oh well, God Bless 'em!
this post is hilarious! another favorite dumb comment of mine is "he's so tiny" or "he's so big"- yes, i get them both!!... i love the videos of john mark laughing. logan has just started laughing within the last week. isn't it the greatest sound you've ever heard in your life?! :)
Yeah! Silly people! I LOVE your responses to the questions...too bad we can't really say them, that would be pretty cool if we could, just one time!
My favorite is "How many weeks old is she?" Ummm, HE is 6 months old.... 6 weeks? NOOO 6 months, and yes, he was a preemie, no he is not in good health now, that is ok, thank you for asking! NO you CANNOT hold my baby! Stranger Danger!
And another good one I actually got asked: "Do Little People run in your family?" I being slightly slow sometimes respond: "Well, I am only 5'2'' and my grandma is shorter than me, but no, short people are not really in my family" Then I realize he was not asking about short people, but Little people, like on TLC!! Sheesh!
