on the things people say.

In the last several weeks, a few acquaintances have said things to me to the effect of, "You look so good for just having had a baby." At first, I think, Oh, that's nice of them to say. And I thank them. But then I wonder, what do they mean, "for just having had a baby"? (Not that I think I look like a super model or anything even remotely close to it, but it's been 4 MONTHS since I had a baby, not to mention that I'm actually 2 sizes smaller now than I was BEFORE I was pregnant.) That's like when I was a kid and other kids would say, "You're pretty good at playing the piano for being homeschooled!" or if someone said, "You look great for being 90!" Or, "You don't look half bad for being a fatso!"
