These are words that should only be spoken to thin children under the age of 10.
They are also words that should never, ever be said to a pregnant 31-year-old.
Ever.
I'm walking down the hall (to lunch, no less) and a teacher that I see only once every couple of months stops dead in her tracks.
Rude Teacher: Oh my gosh! You're so big!
Me: ...
RT: Are you due any day now?
Me: Nope 10 weeks to go.
RT: Oh wow! So you're due after Erica? (a guidance counselor here who is due three weeks before me)
Me: Yes, yes I am.
RT: Oh well you're way bigger than her! (No, I'm not. Really.)
Me: Well, everyone is a little different. Betty and Kate (two other teachers) are due after me too.
RT: Well I haven't seen them, but you are BIG. Good to see you though. Good luck!
Me: ...
I mean, really. What do you say to that? She was obviously completely oblivious.
