I was having a nice, sweet day at the end-of-the-season program at A's homeschooling nature program today. A told the news to the whole group, so lots of parents were coming up to me, congratulating me on the good news.

And then one mom, who I don't really know at all, came up to me and said, "I don't know if you know this, but A announced to everyone that you're pregnant, so we all know." She was acting like he'd done something wrong. I explained that we told the kids and told them they could tell our friends. Once she got over that part, she said, "Congratulations. Although if you had asked me, I would have told you not to have a third."

I really have no idea how a basic stranger felt like she had the right to say that to me just then.

I also am mad that I came up with nothing to say in response- not right then, anyway.
