|
When are you giving him a baby brother or sister? |
We're not sure. Maybe next year. | Just as soon as you get some tact. | When we can afford boarding school. |
|
How long are you going to wait until you have another one? |
Another year to two. | Until donkeys fly. | If we wait until she's in high school, she can help take care of the new baby! |
|
Another girl? Are you going to try for a boy next? |
We're thrilled with our daughter! | Is that how your parents felt when you were born? | Nah, we'll just dress her in blue and keep her hair short. No one will know the truth for years! |
|
Pregnant again, so soon! |
Yep, isn't it great? | No, I just ate a big lunch. | It's actually an inoperable tumor. |
|
If you don't put shoes on her, she'll grow up with flat feet. |
Hmm…I'll keep that in mind. | What causes someone to grow up with a big mouth? | She's already got them, so we might as well save money on shoes now. |
|
He's so big for his age! |
Yes, he's a healthy kid. | And your point is…? | I know! And he's already being scouted by the NFL! |
|
She's so small for her age! |
That's right. She's going to be petite. | Great things come in small packages. | Believe it or not, the US gymnastics team wants to start early Olympic training with her! |
Turning the Tables
No matter how you decide to field overly personal inquiries, remember that the only thing busybodies enjoy more than delving into your business is chatting about their own. So when a question puts you at a loss for words, you can always smile sweetly and murmur, "That's a bit personal. But I'd love to hear how you're doing. Let's talk!"
