So I'm at the store with Zoe today and the cashier strikes up the following conversation:
Cashier: How old is she?
Me: 13 months.
Cashier: Wow, this is pretty advanced stuff to buy for someone so little. At this age she won't even care about most of it except for the wrapping paper.
Me (slightly annoyed): Well, this stuff is for my nephews.
Cashier: How long have you had her?
Me: We brought her home from China in June.
Cashier: Oh, how long did it take to get her?
Me: About 3 years.
Cashier: Wow! You waited all that time and you only got a girl?
Me (foaming at the mouth with rage): It's painful to wait for any child for THREE YEARS.
MAY I PLEASE HAVE MY RECEIPT!!
Oh for the love of all that is decent in this world, please tell me how people this ignorant and rude are allowed to survive the natural selection process!!!! As a footnote....how do they continue to find me???

I think you need to find some more shopping areas ;) What did she think you'd come home with an elephant! I used to get crazy comments when the kids were babies, too and my reaction was much the same as yours. "It took us 4 very long years to finally conceive- we'd be happy with whatever we got!"
Wow...how do they all find you?!?! We've been very lucky and haven't encountered such conversations yet. Everyone is just waiting for me to get so comfortable and then HIT ME with it when I'm least expecting it...
I'm proud of you that you didn't reach across the counter and strangle her to within an inch of her life for being a F-ing idiot. We have been lucky to this point, still just getting the cute comments.
