HopeI am always amazed at how nosy people can be RE: Medic Alert. When anyone other than close friends or family has asked us about it, our conversation usually goes like this:
NOSY PERSON: "Why does he wear that?"
US: "For a medical condition."
NOSY: "Yeah, but what does he have?"
US: "A medical condition."
Usually by the second for third round, along with a very pointed stare from me, they realize it’s none of their business and back off, but for those that persist, I give a very snippy "Sorry, but we don’t discuss our son’s private business with strangers."
At first, I thought it my duty to educate the world about CAH every time anyone asked about Gav’s bracelet; not I realize those people could care less and they’re just nosy, so I don’t waste my time.
