Jeff and I have gotten a kick out of the reactions we get when we tell people we're having triplets. There's usually a long pause while the word "triplets" is being processed, then we most often get a "Wow" or a "Are you kidding?" or a "No Way!". Most people are genuinely thrilled and excited, but every once in awhile someone makes a bonehead comment. Thought I would share some of the best ones and the things we wish we could say in response! Enjoy!
"Why triplets?" (said with a straight face): how on earth do you answer that? Mom said I should have told her that we really had our hearts set on a new puppy but instead we got three babies. Had this person not been a patient, I probably would have layed her out. Lucky for her!
"What are you going to do?": Well, we're thinking about waiting until we see which one is the pain in the butt, then selling that one on ebay. What?!?!
"How is your husband handling it?": Last I checked, his morning sickness had eased up and his energy levels had improved. I think the back pain and heartburn are going to be the hardest on him.
"Did you use drugs?": No, but I'm sure we'll be in the market for some good *&@# once they're born. Know of any good dealers?
"Do you have room for 3 in your house?": Nope. Jeff is erecting three pup tents in the back yard. That eliminates the need for another bathroom - we have lots of trees.
We have cracked up over these reactions! The looks we've gotten have been priceless! I'm sure we'll get a lot more once the babies are here!
