People say

the %*&)&% things.

The other day in Target I was carrying Paige in the sling when I complete stranger thought she needed to make some comments...

Strange Lady: Look at the FAT baby.Do you see that fat baby.How old is he?
Me: SHE is almost five months.
SL: Five months, she ready to walk out of here. What do you feed that baby? You feed that baby from the table don't you?
Me: No mama, I don't.
SL: What do you feed her?
Me: Only my milk.
SL: YOUR milk? Your BREAST milk?
Me: Yes mama.
SL: That baby ready for a hot dog! When you gonna start feeding her from the table?
Me: I am buying cereal today....

Paige is enjoying her solid food.

Some people just don't know when to stop, and some should never start. We will be thinking of ya'll this week. Stay strong and know that we are in prayer for you.

You are too kind and full of graciousness to total strangers...I might have accidentally dropped a 12 pack of DIET Coke on the woman's foot...OOPS!
Sending up lots of prayers for your events today.
BIG HUGS!

OMG! That is a horrifying encounter. I don't even know what to say to that.

Poor Leigh G. Next time, you just need to walk away with your head held high and with no comment.
