A dialogue that has been repeated 27 times to date:

Q&M: Hi Folks, we JUST got married!

Others: Congratulations
... 2 seconds later ...
So when are you having kids!?

Is it TOOOOOOOO hard for people to mind their own business?!

This is the craziest thing EVER! I am so pissed off at people not minding their own business! Especially when it comes to something that is as sensitive and as private as expanding a family and adding new members to it (AKA, having babies)

What's left is for me to provide a detailed plan with dates, expenses and action items for the whole project!

I don't think I have EVER asked anyone when they're going to have babies or if they're planning to have babies or any of that. It's a freakin private matter! PRIVATE! What part of PRIVATE don't people understand??

Even my own parent's didn't ask that, how can people find the nerve to be so bald and ask! It certainly beats me!

So, here's a little for you, whoever provides the BEST reply line to that question wins. The judges will be me and Maioush

The Question of the contest is:
So, When are you going to have babies?

Your Answer: [Hints: Should be funny, decent, and make the other person GET THE POINT that it's none of their business]

I think it depends on who is asking the question, and you are in a better position to know and judge where the question is coming from. If the one asking the question is a close frined or a family member then you shouldn't view it as an attempt to get into your private life.

loool @ hamede :)

my answers:

(standard and straightforward) whenever God wishes.

whaaat?! we havent had any marital problems yet!

when babies learn to change their own nappies (diapers).

I always loved the idea of having my very own personal mini me and taking over the world... but Maioush isnt convinced... do you know of any good surrogates?

LOL!!!

Hmm .. personally i don't view such small talk as offensive or intrusive. To me, when somebody makes a major life-changing step, people usually would ask little questions or make small talk just to join in his happiness. But it seems you don't like these things much (you had a similar complaint before when you announced to people you are getting married :-) ).

Anyway, here is my try for a snappy comeback:

Annoying person: Are you going to have babies ?
Q & M: No thanks, we already ate.

-OR-
Q & M: We are an advanced immortal species from Mars, we don't have babies.

-OR-
Q & M: We've ordered some from Amazon and they are in transit.

-OR-
Q & M: We still haven't decided whether to go to Angola or China to get our baby (as in this is what celebs are doing now).

You will know in due time since I'm planning to hold a press conference to announce it publicaly and distribute the content of the press release to the associated press and the other three major net works.

Side bar note: whisper in my ear will you, i'll make sure it will stay confidential.Which one of you is the defective one!

u will get used to it soon...we waited 3yrs to have kids and if i had a dime in those 3yrs for everytime someone asked me about when we are having kids i would be a rich woman right now..o and dont think it stops there..remember how people used to ask you when will u get married...now when will u have children...then after your first..they start questioning when r u going to give your baby a brother or a sister...and dare u have two boys...everyone assumes that because u have two boys u must be dying for a girl...and when your baby is still a month old they start asking when will you having another baby a girl this time...u know because u could send a request with your preference...and you are guarenteed to get it..
well u get used to it and learn to just nod and smile...people never stop poking their heads into other peoples' business so just get used to it..

I agree with Mohannad actually, so assuming they where just intruding, i guess my answer would be: Why do you want to know? with a smile. or i'd direct them to my last post hahaha

My responses would be:

Poke in the eye
We're actually adopting
We are not married!

Or just be blunt by saying: mind your own damn business bitch!

I never asked anyone when they plan on having babies, but I have asked how many they want to have.

Ilike Za3tar's entries most of all.
