Advice
OMG. So we have an insurance office on our floor that recently hired this crazy older woman as a secretary. She just came up to me, asking if I had change for a dollar, and saw pictures of Jason and I on my desk. She told me that my husband was so good looking and we’d make really good looking babies. I sort of laughed and said something like, I hope so! So then she starts on the baby stuff – “you don’t have any yet do you?” “Do you even want children? My sister in law doesn’t want them.” I’m just sort of smiling and keep saying something like, I hope so, someday, etc. So then she wants to know if we’re thinking soon? I again respond with “oh well, we hope so.” So then she tells me, “Well, you know the key to it is that you need to relax. If you stress at all, it won’t happen. Oh, and the other trick is to make sure your husband wears boxer shorts. Also, my niece has just popped three out right in a row so I’ll have her come in and maybe some of it will wear off on you.” WHAT?
Oh, crazy obnoxious socially-incompetent people are so hard not to swear at, right?
ReplyDeletePeople are friggin nuts!!
ReplyDeleteGrr! It is people like that who make it harder. It is so frustrating. I'm sorry you had to talk with her.
ReplyDeleteWow....I'm sure you're really glad to have such a medical professional right there in the office!
ReplyDeletePeople have no sense. I know my sister got frustrated when everyone would ask if the boys were the result of IVF, as if they had the right to ask, "hey, did you have a hard time getting pregnant?"
Sounds like she wanted more than four quarters. Phone a friend, lady!
