So, did you not understand my reason, or did you just not read it? We were once excited parents too. I can assure you that the ultrasound changed everything.

I never knew you had lost a child Frink.  As a parent myself, I can appreciate how devastating a thing that must be.  I'm sorry to hear this.

That being said, it's unrealistic to assume everyone should share the same reaction to a stimulus based solely one person's history with said stimulus.  My wife's father died of cancer, yet she doesn't think every comedian who makes a cancer joke is an asshole, nor does she think people who laugh at said joke are assholes.
