You're HUGE
So today at lunch, I'm gathering my items for the nice man to fry up at the Mongolian BBQ, minding my own business. I'm poised, ladle of "vineger" in hand, ready to sauce up my food when Mrs. Su's Mongolian BBQ asks me when my baby is due.
Part of me wanted to say 'what? I'm not pregnant, this is all donuts!' but I think we're past that point. So I said, May 14. Her response? You're HUGE! Only one baby in there? She followed me as I went down the row of sauces, making more 'you're so big comments' and my personal favorite: 'mommy must be eating a lot of big meals.' I just couldn't respond, couldn't explain how much of a challenge eating has been for me, how finding things I can eat without gagging remains a challenge and how most days, I'm pretty sure I don't eat enough. But I didn't because I'm pretty sure that discussion would have ended with me crying. So I murmurred and tuned her out.
Another thing I didn't say was yes, I'm sure. 1 baby. And how about you have a nice big pack of Shut The Hell Up Gum while we're at it?

Rudeness, rudeness, rudeness. The last thing ANY pregnant woman needs to hear is how large they are (unless of course they're psycho like me.) Having said that, you have popped out, but you are NOT huge, do NOT look like you have eaten lots of large meals, AND seem to be right on track. So, I hope she enjoys her gum.
P.S.
Which shirt??
