Ways I wish I could respond:
1. "I'm sure. But hey, are YOU having twins?"
2. "You realize that you're basically calling me fat, right? That doesn't seem very nice, does it?"
3. "Oh, gosh. Maybe. I'm really not sure at this point. I mean, I've been to the doctor approximately 80,000 times now, and they haven't said anything yet, but I haven't really asked."
4. Bursting into tears. (Not because the comment actually makes me want to cry, but because I think it'd be entertaining to freak the person out.)
5. Kicking them in the shins. (Okay, I don't really want to do this. It would hurt my toes.)
Way I do respond:
1. Courtesy laugh. "Gosh, I hope not." Courtesy chuckle. Roll my eyes when they go away.

Not long from now, people are going to constantly ask if you've had your baby. I heartily suggest you direct them to www.haveyouhadthatbabyyet.com

When I was eight months pregnant, a couple walked by me in the Target parking lot. They look at me. The man turns to the woman and says, "You want to get pregnant? You want to be that big?" Wish I had gone after them as fast as I could waddle.
ReplyDeleteSo I was willing to take as many compliments as I could get!
Phew for Jeff! You are so hilarious!! Also - poor Becca! That man must have been desperate to not have a kid if he was willing to throw a pregnant lady under the bus! Jerk face'
ReplyDeleteThe worst possible thing to say to any woman is "Are you pregnant?"
ReplyDelete"You're much thinner than Octomom was."
ReplyDeleteokay, i realize that this is not, in fact, the realm of facebook?? but we really need a "like" button on this blog:)... (i would "thumbs up" daddy's comment)...hahahaha...xoxo
ReplyDeletepeople always asked me if I was having twins too! I think it's because I am so scrawny, that my belly looked extra big. you look beautiful!
