I just had to share the rude comment this old lady said to us today at the grocery store! She asked where I thought DJ was going, if he was going to make a trip to the moon or something, with that helmet!! Can you believe it?? I honestly don't mind people asking about the helmet, although no one has yet. But, I do mind an ignorant comment! I know she was old and didn't mean anything by it, but still! I told her that he had a flat spot that needed to be rounded out etc.
I wasn't upset at the time, I was smiling and thought it funny, but the more I think about it, it pisses me off. How dare some stupid stranger make a comment to another complete stranger, based on their own dumb assumption?! Obviously she ended up looking dumb. I should have said, "Ya, as soon as I found out I was preggo, I said to myself, wouldn't it be cute to have a baby wear a helmet?! Because, you know, that's everyone's dream, right?!"
She probably went home and told everyone about what a worry-wart mom I am, not knowing a thing about plagiocephaly. I actually wish more people would ask about it, just so that I could inform them, it's becoming so common these days. I wish someone had warned us against it, we may have been able to prevent. Here's some pics just to show you how cute he is with it!
