yep...

So, last night I was in Walmart looking at a shirt that I ended up buying. It's quite nice and although it was not in the maternity section, works quite well.... and, in my opinion, would make someone who's not pregnant, look that way.

Back to the story...

So, I'm looking at this shirt and I hear a loud woman say, "I think she's pregnant." And an even louder woman said, " It could just be her gut!"

I thought, "WHAAATTT!???" and turned around to see two, rather robust and tall, women standing a few feet away looking at me... I mean, just STANDING THERE! They had to be mother and daughter.

What nerve! I mean, I spent the day with strangers asking me when I was due... no doubt in their minds that it's baby... not GUT! Anyway, whatever, right? It could be worse, what if they said that about someone who wasn't pregnant at all... Oh my!

    People are stupid and don't think before they talk. Considering you were in Walmart it could have been a lot worse. You should start telling people when they ask you when you are due that it's just your gut.

    There was a woman at our church who asked me when I was due and if I was excited about "the baby"...she felt like crap when she found out I wasn't pregnant. People really should think before they speak.

    Dave Barry has this wonderful little life tip:

    Never ask a woman if she is pregnant unless you actually, physically, see a baby emerging from her body at that exact moment.

    It's happened to me more than you can imagine... but I'm just fat.
