PrEgNanT???

Ok, I know I've gained a little weight...but a BABY? Last Thursday at HD, a customer whom I was ringing up asked me, "So when's the baby coming?" I look at him: bewildered. "What baby?" I had most definitely not caught on to what he was asking. "Oh, so there's no baby?" We both exchanged blank stares while his wife promptly walked out of the store. I had nothing to say..."Oh, well your smock (my apron) was pooching out a little." What? WHAT? WHAT??? Who does that? As Chris said (and he seemed pretty ticked about it...hehe), "Doesn't every many know NOT to ask even if he's positive a woman is pregnant?!?" And like Megan and Mandy said, "You should never say anything unless the baby is crowning!!" My shattered pride and I whole-heartedly agree. I spent the last of my shift telling all the men that came through my line about this rule....so THERE!!!

OOOHHH!!! That guy had not been trained correctly, that's obvious! Love the line about not saying anything till the baby is actually crowning - -that's one I"m going to remember for sure! I hope that guy went home and got his mouth washed out with soap or something.

oh man - that's rough. People think you're pregnant, I am over here splitting my pants. People are just jealous they're not us.

I most definitely did not use the word "crowning"... I believe my advice was "unless you see the baby coming out, do not mention it". The wise words of a former maternity clothing specialist... I am glad that you have trained Chris already so that you will not ever have to make such a speedy exit from a store. ha ha...
