Seriously, you can't take me anywhere.

I went to the dentist a few days ago. I was sitting in the lobby waiting when the hygenist and receptionist starting chatting with me. I told them I had just dropped my kids off so I could be there, and the hygenist said "You've had 2 kids?!?!"

I was expecting the usual "Oh my god you're so skinny!" response. So I let my guard down. Mistake #1.

She threw me off. She said "You look so YOUNG!!"

My head was confused. My preplanned response of "Oh gosh thanks I work out" was useless. So instead, I blurted out the most offensive and craziest shit that popped into my head. I said "I was a child bride." And I did it with a serious face. Mistake #2.

Their faces fell and they did NOT laugh. Apparently it's not funny to joke about girls being forced into marriages. You live you learn.
