Grocery Store
Today at the grocery store I left my cart with my purse a few feet away while I was looking at the meat. (I had Lucy with me in her little sling.) As I turned back to it, this lady comes up to me and starts lecturing me on how I shouldn't leave my cart unattended. "Someone could've been in and out of there in just a second." I was annoyed, so I said with a little smile, "So why didn't you?" She seemed to think I was serious and explained how she wouldn't do that. I said, "Look, I've kinda got my hands full here." Seriously, people are weird.

I'll bet that lady was someone's interfering mother or mother-in-law.
That's so lame! I can't believe there are people out there who ACTUALLY think that they have any business telling other people what to do!
Good comeback. I usually think of those three hours afterward.
I wish I could come up with things like that when people ask about the girls. I can't ever think of them quick enough.
Usually it goes like this:
stranger: "are you sure they are twins she's taller than her sister"
Me: "yes, I am positive"
I should say something like, "No, I'm not sure, I wonder who their mother is?"
You should say, "Well, one stayed in there for about 9 months longer, so that's why she's taller." Or, "Well, that extra minute gave her a head start."
