huh. I was just more or less asked if I was infertile at work

silly mathematicians--they don't finish their sentences in their head before they start them.

Math dude walks up to chit-chat, no biggie.  No leadin though,  He says  "so, are you a parent at all?"  (  I think he knows I"m married and that's  bout it.  we're not tight.  we chit chat; I've only known him to pick him out of a crowd for 3 months)

This isn't something I tend to discuss at work...it never ends well.  And I'm still not wanting to out myself to everyone.  (And I don't thnk  he thinks i'm PG.  No reason to. )

So I just say 'nope' and smile.

He says "so, do you not want kids or can you....er...or..."
I decide that letting him decide how to finish that sentence for like  12 seconds is just desserts.  SO I don't say anything.  ANd then I very brightly say "we just haven't gotten around to it yet"

Seriously dude, you were really trying to ask 'do you not want them or can't you have them'?

  • Wait, you're carrying around a little GBCKosaur, correct?

    You should burst into tears and run in the other direction the next time you get that question.

  • I hae done the burst into tears thing...not intentionally but because it really CAN be that painful of a question.

    And yeah, defintely PG....but I don't think I look it yet.  I shouldn't, I still weigh less than I did when I got knocked-up; morning sickness = diet plan.

  • you should have puked on his shoes

    I can't wait for the "im getting a divorce" post in 5 years or so because your husbands were fed up with your disgusting chair asses from playing on the knot all day and getting fired 4-5 times for not doing any work. you guys are all winners!! ~ Laur929
  • Not that anyone should be asking that question at all, but I would almost rather hear it that way than "What are you waiting for?  If you don't have one yet you must hate babies."

    I got a bit hostile toward the moron on 1st tri. last night who was implying there's something wrong w/ not wanting kids.
