In the March 2012 Due Date Club some of us have posted a bit about the all too-common rude response to a pregnancy announcement. I know I've heard some great comeback suggestions over the years and thought it would be fun to corral everyone's comebacks in a thread. What rude comments and snappy comebacks do you know of for pregnancy announcements OR family size??
Some of my favorites:
"You know what causes that, don't you?"
"Yes, apparently we're good at it."
"You know what causes that, don't you?"
"God."
"You guys should really get television."
"We found something we enjoy more."
A favorite comeback I recently read:
"Boy you have your hands full."
"Isn't that the point? Since when was the idea to have empty hands?"
"Boy you have your hands full."
"I know. Isn't it great?!"
"Better you than me."
"I agree." :)
"Was this planned?"
"Of course; God has a plan for every child."
My husband has a sweet - very bold - female friend who asked us...after #5 I think....if we were going to have more. He just looked at her long enough for her to feel awkward and said, "that's kind of private, don't you think?" Another female friend was there and she said, "Yeah, Kerry - that was rude." She hasn't asked again.
Okay - your's?
