Why do the witty comebacks always come so late?

I heard probably the worst comment to date so far regarding having triplets. I was loading the kids up in the stroller this morning, getting ready to look in yet another furniture store, when a woman came up to me and said, "You sure have your hands full! Are them triplets?! Why...I wouldn't wish them on my worst enemy!"

I responded with, "No...no! Please don't feel sorry for anyone with triplets. They are truly wonderful. We are very blessed." Nice sappy comeback, but what I should have said is, "I wouldn't either. They don't deserve them!"
