Things Not to Say to a Pregnant Stranger (or even someone you know!)
“You’re definitely having a girl. I can tell because of how you’re carrying and your face is fat.”
– the cashier at our local Duane Reade, who then went on to say that she had to drop out of school because her second, a boy, was just too demanding.
“You are the cutest pregnant woman I’ve ever seen. There are some people who carry well and you are definitely carrying so cute.”
(Me, blushing and thanking him for the compliment.)
“You are carrying much better than my wife!”
(Me, frowning.)
–man at the produce section of our local grocery store.
I laughed out loud when I read that…I wonder who is more accurate at baby-fortune-telling, the cashier or the cabbie?
Hope all is well. Much Love, Monica
