Why would you ask that?

Dear Prudence,

My husband and I had a big surprise in the form of triplets 18 months ago. Luckily, we have both sets of grandparents nearby, along with my two older sisters for support. The issue is when we are out with the kids. Total strangers will come up and ask the most intrusive questions: Did you have IVF? Are they all yours? Did you take fertility drugs? etc. I realize people are curious, but I think this behavior is pretty rude. Any suggestions for how to handle the busybodies?

    We've become such an open society people forget about privacy.

    It's up to you on how much you want to answer and I'm a bigger fan of statements like, "Oh we consider that private detail."

    Stunned expression with "what?!" works just fine for most invasive questions from strangers. I'm also partial to "my, what an invasive question!" Miss Manner's style.
