    Hmmm, if they are saying it to be b$tchy , I would prob just smile and gulp my wine !! If they were just innocently asking , I would explain .
    I usually get a lot of sympathy because my mom , auntie, and their friends all "babysat" in their day !! So they understand !!! The younger ones are easily impressed by how I talk about my business and the rude ones I don't care to discuss myself with .

    I always respond by saying " professionally I try to refrain
    From sitting on children, it tends to be bad for business.".
    I actually have a tshirt that says something like it. I bought it from THE ooey goey Lady... You can check out her website..

    ECE53, you took the words out of my mouth! LOL I was going to be facetious too by saying "I don't sit on babies, what kind of care giver would I be!"

    I love it!!! Now...if I can actually remember it when I need it (I'm notoriously bad at messing up jokes too!).
    Children are great imitators.
    So give them something great to imitate.

    Since you know they are being rude I would simply reply with "No." If they ask what you are doing now, tell them you are running a home based business providing child care.
