If you've ever felt alone...cut off from the people you pass every day...or that you just don't get to talk to strangers enough, having a pregnant form gives you a pass to be everyone's friend. It's downright homespun how, even in the middle of a huge city, people you have never met will drop what they are doing to offer you a greeting, commentary, or 'advice.' I've been keeping a little list of some of the most memorable quips I've gotten, and here are a few:
"How many do you have in there?" (One, it just looks like a litter)
"Wow, I'll be you'll be good at breastfeeding." (Or maybe a career in adult films)
"You don't mind if I touch it, do you?) (Now that you are, it would be rude to slap you.)
"Have all the coffee you want, but don't go bowling" (And let the league down?)
"Have you ordered your epidural yet?" (I'll order it along with your tact medicine)
Any of you in homespun land made similar connections?
