Oh really...??? Was that an accident????

[sneakysparkle]

"No, we meant to have sex!"

"What I'm really hoping is that people will stop asking me if I'm hoping for a boy!"

[Heaven]

I still can't believe people actually ask this question. I think it's really rude, I would never ask anyone!! And it's no one's business!! Only one person has asked DH and I think he just said 'of course'. I think they asked because we're young (although we've been married for 3yrs) so doesn't matter what age there's still rude ppl around!! lol.

I think I'd be so cranky being asked that I'd just say 'Of course not but it's none of your business anyway, I hope you don't go around asking other people that question'.

Hehe...I got asked about my last pregnancy being an accident a lot as my other kids were 15, 13 and 8. I just said "well, we don't know what happened, we haven't quite worked out what causes it yet". LOL.

when people asked me what i was hoping for, i used to say a giraffe - they get up & run around within hours of the birth..

As for the age gap - just say you where waiting for your DD's to get old enough to babysit so you can go out clubbing.

First: "No, we know how babies are made."
Second: "I don't think we really get a say now, so we'll leave it up to the baby."

I would just be upfront and say

a) NO! (in a manner that simply brushes them off)

b) Yes we would love a boy, but we will love it no matter what happens.

[Jennifer13]

How about "Yes, we're hoping for a boy... or a girl. One of those two would be great!"

[Arimeh]

1) our tv broke - holy crap - look what happened!!!

2) we are hoping for just the one set of genitals - either will be good - both not so good

How about "Yes, we're hoping for a boy... or a girl. One of those two would be great!"

[~Kate~]

I love the 'nope, we do know where babies come from' or 'must have been an immaculate conception we think' or 'yep it was an accident...he just slipped in whilst in bed one day'
And for the second question say 'as long as it looks like DH and not the post man then I'll be happy and relieved' in a secretive tone if DH is nearby or 'hoping for a puppy...they are so cute and cuddly'

You'll always get someone making a comment...usually its just to make conversation and they don't really think before they say it.. Sort of just automatic.

lol DP just said say "it was sort of an accident, i got in the bath too soon after DH got out and smack bam.. there u go!" just made me laugh

[~Aveta~]

How about "Yes, we're hoping for a boy... or a girl. One of those two would be great!"

i love it!

or...actually, we haven't worked out where babies come from yet....

or...well actually we put our undies in the wash together and look what happened!

or - blonde moment - i had to ask the doctor..is it mine?
