[quote=Anonymous]I think your neighbor was rude, but not intentially. She wasn't that socially tuned in, but I supect she was just trying to be chatty.

There are some comments that don't offend "bour boys is tall," "Your girl is so pretty" and there are other observations that can be painful. I really don't think it's EVER a great idea to comment on how unusually tiny a baby is, even if the child wasn't in the NICU. I doubt very short parents want to hear that over and over.

Wouldn't worry about whether she heard you. She may have assumed your talking about someone else's child. If she did know you were talking about her kid, she'll get over it. I once walked by my elderly neighbors, heard them laughing  and then one says "we were just talking about you." This is not possy and I don't see them often so Lord knows what was so funny to them.Then they went back to laughing and didn't share what was so funny.I was offended and a tad paranoid for a good 20 minutes and then I remembered they are usually pretty grumpy so if this added a little laughter to their day no big deal.
