Ever Heard Of Sunscreen?


At the checkout counter at Ralph's:

Old Lady: Oh my God! What happened to your baby? Why is he so sunburned?

Me: He is not sunburned.

Her (ignoring my reply): Have you ever heard of sunscreen?

Me (ignoring her sarcasm): He has a skin condition.

Ok, that was the old me. I have stopped trying to explain the appearance of my son to random strangers. Now I just smile and shrug. Or agree to whatever they think Bambino has. Like at church sometime ago, a lady asked if it's eczema and I just nodded.

I don't know why some people think it's their business to know what's going on.

I wish people are more sensitive.
