A lot of strangers will ask you about your pregnancy. I got this a lot at work. These are all questions I was asked and how I wish I could have responded without getting fired.
“Are you married?”
– “No. It isn’t legal here yet.”
– “It was a one night stand on a cruise in my cabin. I didn’t even get his name.”
“Are you pregnant?”
– “I was. Lost the baby yesterday.”
– “Yes! Unfortunately it’s twins. I hope they hash it out like sharks. Rawr.”
“You’re carrying low. It must be a boy.”
– “Dammit! We wanted it to be a surprise!”
– “Well then I guess he’s going to hate his name. (Talking to belly) Isn’t that right Penelope?”
“When are you due?”
– “Huh? Oh! What do I do? I’m currently unemployed.”
“Can I touch your belly?”
– “If you want… I had a really big lunch and you can feel it digesting.”
– “Can I touch yours?”
“Is your husband excited.”
– “No. His favorite things are sleep and sex. So his life’s about to suck.”
“Was it planned.”
– “No, but my abortion is.”
What are some crazy thing people asked you and did you handle it? Comment below.
My favorite is after people found out it was twins. “Are they natural?” To which I’d always respond “Well they aren’t synthetic!”
I just found it rude for them to assume that if I had infertility issues I would just share that with complete strangers.
