Just Surprised it Didn't Happen Sooner

Yeah, so it finally happened. To be honest, I thought I might make it through the whole pregnancy without it happening. You can probably see why. You see, I'm due next Saturday, and to date, it hasn't happened. With the boys, it happened much sooner and much more often. Well, tonight it happened. You may be wondering what I'm talking about...let me fill you in.

So tonight I made the dreaded trip to Wal-Mart. That, my friends, was my first mistake. I absolutely abhor shopping at Wal-Mart. I really go maybe once every two months or so. I prefer to shop at CVS (which I have totally slacked off of the past few months), Publix, or Target. Anyway, I'm at Wal-Mart and walking in, and this guy (who is with his wife, mind you) says to me (with BIG eyes and an exaggerated voice), "How many are in there?!?!" Clearly, he was talking about the large size of my baby bump (so it's not so much a bump as it is a mound). Ok, so his total lack of couth, the fact that I'm a week away from my due date, and I'm tired from hours of cleaning makes his comment rub me completely the wrong way. So I looked at him and, with a sarcastic smile and tone and a bit of an eye roll, said, "There's just one." Does he stop there? Noooo... Does his wife stop him, correct him, try to apologize for his rudeness...NOPE! He says, "WOW!!!" His wife made some comment that went along with his, and I kept walking and said, "THANKS!" Of course, I said this very sarcastically and was thinking that that guy better be glad I was walking. I almost turned around and told him just how rude his comment was (when I called Channing on the ride home to tell him about it, he told me he was so glad I was so life-giving in my response to this man. Obviously, he was being sarcastic. Lots of sarcasm tonight, people).

I told Channing that if he ever said something like that to a pregnant woman, I would be MORTIFIED. I would be so embarrassed and would immediately begin apologizing for his unkind words. Clearly, this woman thought her hubby's comments were ok. What is wrong with people, I ask you? Seriously, are some people raised in a barn?! I guess I shouldn't complain. It took my whole pregnancy before I ran into one of these geniuses of etiquette.

Well, that's it, folks. I just had to share. Hope you got a good laugh at my expense. That guy sure did! Ha! I still have a week until my due date, and who knows if she'll even come by then. So I guess I should prepare myself for much more of this. Maybe I should hide out at home until she arrives? That's sounding better and better! :)

Have a great weekend, people!
