The grass was pretty, and yummy, according to Yemima, and some old men played shesh besh next to us.
Some small talk ensued, along the lines of, "Adorable baby! She must be a handful." "Thanks! She's wonderful." "And are you her mother or her grandmother?"
??!! WHAT ??!!
"Her mother." *Smile*
How young do the grandmothers come in your family? Or rather, where do the grandmothers you know get their skin cream?
Suddenly I felt tired and really wanted an afternoon nap.

How about the response, "Are you blind or stupid?" (Although it was probably both)
How about, "Are you her sister or her mother?" That would've been a bit more safe.
I saw a woman today who I thought was pregnant. I stay away from making comments about those things!
That's gotta be the most ridiculous comment I've ever heard. How could you possibly be her grandmother? What is this, Yemen circa 1904??
