- When are you due?
- Do you know if it's a boy or a girl?
- Are you excited?
- Not really.
- I'm putting him up for adoption so it doesn't really matter.
- Yes, because then I can hopefully figure out who the father is!
Luckily, I haven't been assaulted like a lot of other woman I've known that live in east Tennessee. Apparently, people around here think it's okay to come up to pregnant women they don't even know and start rubbing their bellies without permission. This only happened to me once at a Mexican restaurant when I was already seated and our waitress did it before leaving our table. I was so startled that I didn't even say anything. I kept telling Brian that if anyone did this to me they'd risk losing their hand. I do not understand why people think that pregnant women don't have to be treated like normal people. No one would go up to stranger that isn't pregnant and just start rubbing one of their body parts. That gets people punched, arrested, or shot! Besides, what are you accomplishing by rubbing someone's belly? You're most likely not going to feel the baby kick, so what's the point?
Does it sound like I'm tired of being pregnant and am ready for this little guy to arrive?
