Say What?

I have known for a while that adolescents do not have a filter. I am just discovering now that neither do adults! It is so funny what people will say to you when you are pregnant. I have been documenting responses to my pregnancy for a couple months now. I plan to continue. Some of these statements, I do not want to forget!

"Ewwww you are nasty. This is the second time you have been pregnant." - former student, 9th grade

"You blew up." - 6th grader

"You are so little. It looks like you are smuggling a turkey in there." - 6th grader

"Are you sure you are not having twins?" - 7th grade student, coworker

"You are a lot bigger this time than last." - husband, mother, coworker

"Your face has filled out." - coworker

"You are going to have a ten pounder." - mother-in-law, coworker

"I can tell you are pregnant. Your nose has gotten wide." - coworker

"Who is the baby daddy?" - 7th grader

"Are you pregnant?' (25 weeks +20 lbs) - 6th grade student

"Wow. You popped over the weekend." - coworker

"You are gaining weight all over this time. Must be a boy thing." - coworker

"This must have been an accident." - stranger

"You are getting big. Your jacket is too short." - coworker

"You look like you swallowed a watermelon." - coworker

"Oh, you look pregnant." - coworker

After being out of work for nearly a week because of snow and ice, "what did you eat over the break?" - coworker
