A dear mama friend of mine share this list from The Laughing Stork with me this morning.  I obviously had not had my coffee yet and came up with some responses....

Top 10 Things Never to Say to a Stay-at-Home Mom

1.    When the kids are older, do you think you’ll get a real job?

-      I don’t think anyone could afford me.

2.    How June Cleaver of you!

-      Oh no, I’m more like Wonder Woman, thankyouverymuch.

3.    Oh, so you don’t work?

-      Hahahahahahaha.

4.    Since you have extra time on your hands, could you whip up a few dozen brownies for the bake sale tomorrow?

-      Sure! Can you hook me up with some office supplies next time you go into the office?

5.    All day with your kids? I can’t even imagine.

-      I know.  Imagine yours!!

6.    I’m jealous. I wish my husband were rich so I wouldn’t have to work either.

-      Actually, the money we save on daycare is more than my paycheck would be. Also, I buy local in bulk and use coupons. I wish I had money to throw away like you do.

7.    So what do you do all day, anyway?

-      Pfft. How much time do you have? Nevermind, I still have to go to the store, pick up my nephew from school, drop the kid off…talk…to…you..la….

8.    Don’t worry; I’m sure you’re not the only one who’s ever wasted money on a college degree.

-      True.  Think of all of the Art History, Psychology, Philosophy, Nurtituion, and Communication majors out there who are flooding the markets making it impossible to find a job in their field and end up working at Target.  

9.    That explains why your son is so clingy!

-      Explains why your 4-year-old calls you by your first name.

10. Weird. I assumed your house would be super clean.

-      Weird. I assumed my friends had better manners.

      Too much for you?  Here's an card...would you like a cookie too?
