How do you answer when people/complete strangers ask, "So... are you going to try for a girl?"

Believe it or not, I was asked this on the day of my discharge w/my 2nd son. It was the woman who takes the photos for the web nursery. (She was well into her 60's...) and asked that dreaded question. "Uh.... I just gave birth, having a 3rd isn't really on the radar right now... "

I just get irked w/people thinking that somehow my family's not perfect b/c I don't have one of each. Why would having one of each be the ideal, stereotypical picture perfect family?

"Oh, but you don't get to buy all those cute little dresses, tights, or dress up costumes..." Ummm, sorry, I can't see wrangling tights on a 9mo let alone dealing w/them on a 3yo learning to use the potty as something I'm sad to miss out on. As for dress up costumes, we have a trunk full of pirate, policeman, fireman, cowboy gear. It racks up!

"Oh, but you're going to miss out on all the tea parties and going to the ballet...." Well then, the person who says this is just a lil-bit close minded in the fact that I wouldn't be able to share those experiences w/my son. Why yesterday, we were talking about the music from The Nutcracker Suite and I was thinking that I'd bet my 4yo would really enjoy seeing that ballet. He loves classical music, he loves to dance around the house, why wouldn't he love it?

So, enough of my ramblings... and you'll learn that I do that all too often. But I can say w/out a doubt, I love having my boys. Our family's complete and I don't feel the need to add another set of girly bits to the mix. ;)
