Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Age or Ability Specific Forums Do you ever lie about your DD/DS's age?

We were stopped once by a lady in Walmart who was staring at my DS. He was sitting in the shopping cart going on and on about something related to Magic School Bus. He was barely 2 years old at the time. She rudely snapped that he was far too old to still be in diapers and I clearly had some issues. DS turned to her and said "I'm only 2 lady, what do you expect!" I was mortified that she thought she could just criticize a random stranger... and proud of DS for defending himself while I sat there dumbfounded!
