First icky twin comment
So, I was in the waiting room with the twins today waiting for Tim to get done with a check-up. Elanor was sleeping, and Ian was quietly playing with his toys.
There was an old man a few seats down from us, snoring away. All of us in there were (respectfully) trying not to giggle. A nurse came in to call someone back and started laughing so hard that she forgot who she was calling back.
Old man wakes up, looks at our kids and says in a horrified voice, "Good G**! Twins!" In the tone of voice someone would use in talking about a natural disaster. And he topped it off with everyone's favorite bit of sugary, southern insincerity, "Bless your heart."
When I told Tim, he suggested a few three, four and seven letter words I could have used to respond.
I just told the man what great babies they were. And talked rather loudly to someone else about how wonderful it was to have twins.
Grrr. Don't diss my babies.
