Went to the Mount Dora Publix today to get a few groceries. Pretty uneventful until we get to the check out line. Anna Grace was patting my belly and talking about the baby. Check out lady was smiling and talking to us and then the teenaged girl that was bagging the groceries chimed in.
Teenager: Don’t you think you’re pretty old to be pregnant. Did you do that on purpose?
Me: Yep, we’re just thankful to have another baby.
Teenager: Well, don’t you think you’ll probably die or something before the kid grows up. That isn’t right.
Me: ::Blink Blink::
Check out lady, who is in her mid to late 50’s, looks right at the girl and says “At this rate, you could die before the end of your shift”.
That lady is my new hero!!
Mine too.
Fannnnnntastic.
Really? In front of Anna Grace? Because that possibility (despite of age, because you’re NOT old) is really something you want to discuss with the little one standing there listening … geez. Hurray for the check-out lady and for people who keep their misinformed opinions to themselves!
Wow. That’s, um, amazing. Let’s hope she grows a brain as she gets older.
I had a baby at 40. Amazingly, I’m still alive.
I might send that other cashier an xmas gift, though….
Oh my goodness, I can’t believe she would say that, let alone in front of AG. What a thoughtless person. Kudos to the cashier
That is crazy! I have had a teenager recently tell me that I should put my kids in public school because it is much better than homeschooling. What happened to respect?
Good for the cashier!
What an obnoxious and rude little twit!
Wooo nelly!
God bless that quick wit!
OMG!!! Ok I think I know what girl you are talking abt too. She’s not real bright either. SO glad the cashier piped in. Did AG not really hear what the girl was saying abt death? Because THAT would be a hard one to explain……..
That is just about unbelievable!!!!!!!!!!! Maybe it’s the “no filter” girl from Kohls – maybe they moved her on. I’m not at all into “reporting” people, but …….someone in a managerial role should have a little talk with her.
That’s awful! Good for the cashier sticking up for you.
Yay for the cashier but that that girl needs to have a serious talking to. That is way beyond inappropriate.
OMG! That child needs to go to manner’s school.
So many people talk before they think! That was just rude!!!!!
Ha-larious!! (P.S. I’ve seen that ::blink blink::…. that means, “I’m going to kill you.” 😉
How ’bout this question: “Do I have the wisdom, maturity, life experience to offer this baby a wonderful, rich life?” Keep that answer in mind if another immature brat of a child questions your decisions.
I suspect the teenager didn’t have parents who offered her love, kindness, wisdom or much of anything. Initially I read your report and was horrified at her. Now I’m really sad for her.
The filter between that girl’s brain and her mouth must not have been working….
The cashier is a rock star!!
Hey Kris!! You are having a babykins?? Congratulations!
And kudos for not strangling said idiot. When I was preggers with Kate back in the dinosaur days, I poured a full Big Gulp on a guy who dared to reach over and pat my tummy while exclaiming “I know what you’ve been doing!” He was lucky to have left the building with his hands still attached to his body.
