me-"oh hi there. so little amelia here is around sixteen months old, right?"

other person-"no she's actually fifteen months. she won't even turn sixteen months until the second."

me-"april 2nd though, right? like two days from today? so around sixteen months old?"

I mean give me a break you parent dorks.

it's the second day in a row this has happened. hell hath no fury like a parent who is told that their child is around so many months old when they are actually two or three days older or younger. I say give me a break, America.

Brock Landers · « **Reply #2 on:** March 31, 2016, 11:32:04 AM »

Well 3 days to an almost 16 month old is a pretty good chunk of their entire lifetime.

Just kidding Rick yeah it's dumb to not be able to round up without being called out.

i can't believe how accurate of a guess that was though. i always try to guess a kid's age and am usually off by about 18 months or 3 years, give or take.

I was holding a sheet of paper with her DOB on it and glanced at it before asking. it was more of a "how's the weather outside today?" question than anything. so around sixteen months, huh?

anyway it's not exactly breaking new ground to state that parents of kids that age obsess about stuff, but it happened two days in a row so I thought I'd share and say give me a break, America.

People ask me all the time how old my kids are and it usually takes me a minute to remember.

"Well the oldest one is 5, no wait, the oldest one is actually 6......."

SCENE: Stabucks drive through

Barista: "Hi, here is your Trenta Iced Green Tea with no water or syrup. Actually it's mint green tea because we are out of the regular."
Me: :Throws entire awful mint tea into her face and peels out flipping a left hand freedom rocket out of the window:
Me actually: "I don't want mint. Bye"

so little amelia has an ear infection, and the first thing it occurred to you to do was broadcast it to the world? you're hipaa busted, rd. this is outrageous.

CHONGS · « **Reply #12 on:** March 31, 2016, 01:03:47 PM »

I have read some interesting research on the efficacy of amoxicillin on reducing pain for inner ear infections in children. VERY INTERESTING.

and its super irritating when people hijack a thread

i've got something similar to gripe about. for years i've battled the use of leaf blowers by a particular company who has been sourced to clean the sidewalks of my neighborhood. they would have a team of 4-5 guys begin walking the sidewalks with leaf blowers around 3 am and continue until 5 am or so. it's against city code. anyway- i thought the issue had been resolved. that is until last night. i was awoken around 2 am by what i thought was the leaf blowers. my blood was boiling, so i looked out my window but couldn't see any of them. kept looking around. nothing. i could still hear what i thought was the noise. finally got out of bed and went out onto my patio. what do i see? a bmw being loaded onto a tow truck flatbed and 3 cop cars in front of my place. and a girl in handcuffs getting a dui and loaded into a paddy wagon.

felt bad but don't drink and drive. that noise of her car being loaded onto the flatbed was so annoying.

i would have posted this immediately last night but this thread hadn't started yet

When people ask me how old a child is i usually describe it in height.

Person - How old was that kid you were talking about?

Me - I don't know yea high (making a height indicator with my hand).

michigancat · « **Reply #17 on:** March 31, 2016, 04:36:32 PM »

yea high is a great kansanism

i actually thought of this the other day and i was going to ask if it's awkward when you pass a j-gringo on the street

Annoying thing people do:

When people know you have a child under 1 year of age, instead of saying hello they just say "So, you gettin' any sleep these days?" or the real idiots will make it into a joke like "Hey I bet you don't even remember what sleep is anymore ha ha" or some version of that.

If you say that to a parent, you are dumb.
