Nosey Strangers

I'm not an overly social person, especially when it comes to people I don't know, like people you see at the grocery store for example. And I have never understood how or why Thad manages to strike up conversations with people everywhere we go. I also have never understood why people are so presumptuous when it comes to pregnant ladies. Just because you can tell I'm pregnant does not make it any of your business crazy strangers at the store!
So today I'm at the store with my mom and Andi who have wandered off somewhere else and this random guy walks buy and asks when I'm due, and what I'm having, and if I have any other kids and what her name is. I answered politely but what I was really thinking was. . . .

Stranger: So you are expecting!
me: yes captain obvious
S: When are you due?
Me: Do I know you?!
S: Is this your first?
Me: Not really any of your business
S: Girl or boy?
Me : refer to previous answer
S: What's her name?
Me: Like I want to give a total stranger information like that!

Seriously, I need to have this baby already, so I can stop wanting to throw things at people in the grocery store.

well if your anything like me (which I think you are) having the baby won't make much difference, stupid nosy people still tick me off and i think i burned 4 people yesterday just for looking in my general direction.... and why you ask? because i decided not to take 2 stupid pills that balance out my hormones!.... gosh i hate being a girl!

LOL! I soooo know how you feel, i would purposly avoid eye contact with ppl. that looked like they wanted to strike up a conversation about when im due or my other child. Even to this day i try not to be too social with strange store ppl. i just quicky push my cart away from them and say have a nice day. lol...why DO ppl think that they can just sit and talk to you just cause you happen to have kids...ugh! I feel ya hunny, i really do!
