Just smile and nod

  When I was younger it used to be a joke between my friends/family and myself when someone said or did something crazy or weird we would "just smile and nod" at each other and laugh.  I'm sure you have probably heard the saying yourself.  Well, I find myself doing that a lot lately.  I used to explain stuff to people/strangers when they would make comments or ask questions about Sadie.  But now, depending on my mood, I usually just smile and nod and agree with them.  Like when they say "what is she about 5-6 months old".  I just nod and agree.  In reality she is close to 1 yrs old.  Or when they say "oh she is so sleepy and cuddly".  No, in reality, she just can't hold her head up and she hates to cuddle.  "Oh she looks like she has been crying, or did she just wake up"  No, reality is, is that she has weak muscles around her eye on that right side and she always is "squinting" and it looks swollen.
  Who would have thought that years later I would pretty much be living my life by that saying because it makes life so much easier.  It makes me laugh. 
  So just remember when you don't feel like talking, or when someone says something stupid, don't get annoyed and irritated. It's sooo not worth it.  Just smile and nod!
