I love living in a small town. I love the fact that I can walk around town by myself without getting anxious. I love that I can go to the neighbor's house for sugar if I need to (well, I could go to Cana's house...nobody else), I love that I know a lot of people...but I don't love that people think they know your business. Last night someone congratulated Timothy in the grocery store...it went a little somethin' like this:
Random Person: I hear congratulations are in order (in that sing-songy voice)
Timothy: For what?...
Random Person: That you and Jessica are expecting.
Timothy: WHAT?!?!...ummmmmm no.
Random Person: Well I heard it from 2 different people.
Timothy: ummmmm no. I can nip that one in the bud for you right now...we are definitely not pregnant.
Random Person: Well...I'll have to tell those people that they were wrong...
Darn right you will! Timothy took it better than I did. He said, "well at least the rumor is that you and I are pregnant, not that you're pregnant by someone else, or someone else is pregnant by me!" Touche... But still...I have to admit I was semi-flattered until I got to thinking...do I look big enough to be pregnant?!?!? Emergency 2010 Diet begins January 2nd people!

This is why no one should ever ask if someone's pregnant. Even if they're in labor, assume it's a ruptered appendix, not another life being brought into the world.
ReplyDeleteAnd no, you do not look pregnant.
