Dumb Comments

I was telling a friend how my younger dd had taken her time on milestones.  I was so worried with my first dd having autism, that I had younger dd evaluated for delays, but it turned out that younger dd just does things in her own time and had no delays.  So this friend says to me, "I bet she was delayed because you don't vaccinate.  She needs her shots!"  I didn't know whether to laugh or what!  Finally I just said, "You know, shots do not make people smarter or more advanced, right?"  she rolled her eyes.  But seriously, am I the only one who thinks it is laughable that anyone would think a child is delayed because they did NOT get their shots?

Disclaimer: I am not bashing those who choose to vax, I am saying the comment itself is dumb.  ftr.

It sure would be nice if a simple shot could make people smarter! I know a lot of people I'd want vaccinated ;)

LOL.  Thanks for the laughs.  Especially about smart shots.  I am glad nobody took it badly.  Even though I put a disclaimer, i was worried someone would think i was bashing vaxers.  Not at all.  It was all about the comment.  :)
