Have you ever asked a pregnant woman when she is due, only to find out she's not pregnant?

I really do learn from my mistakes.  Honest, I do.  But, dammit Janet, sometimes my mouth starts moving before my brain kicks into gear.  I know not to ask another woman if she's pregnant.  I know!

While on vacation, I was shopping with a friend at TJ Maxx.  Went into the dressing room to try on some tops and there was a lovely young woman who was working in there.  She was clearly pregnant.  Beautiful, perfectly proportioned woman, not an ounce of fat on her, and a pronounced belly.  So, I asked her when she was due.  She told me she wasn't pregnant.  As I apologized profusely, looking like the complete idiot that I am, she told me very nicely not to worry about it, that people said that to her all the time, and it was just a fat stomach.  THEN, I wanted to say, "Hey lady, I think you better get to a doctor because if that there ain't a baby, then you must have yourself a big a$$ed tumor!"  But, I was good.  I shut my big forking mouth, and slunk away......

    Smooth move ex-lax. You're lucky your status as a Maxxinista wasn't revoked.

    That would never happen.  This store was in Yonkers where the dregs of New York society now reside.  She was grateful I was one of the few who actually went up to the counter and willingly paid for my purchases.

    I don't know why.  We only do this out of sheer joy and happiness for the other person!

    No, but I saw it happen at Disney World Space Mountain.  The employee at the door told a woman she couldn't ride because of her pregnancy.  The women was highly offended and I thought she was going to hit him.  She said she was not pregnant.  I actually was but not showing very much and I probably should not have ridden it, but I did.  I would never ride it again.

    Someone did that to me once.  I had just started putting on a lot of weight.  And I could NOT get it off no matter what, and I was ready to die about it and this moron asked me when my baby was due.

    I did have on a dress that looked like a maternity dress but STILL.   UGH.

    Do NOT ask that question people UNLESS you already know the woman is with child.  It is NOT that important for you to have to bring this up.   SHUT UP.

    Sincerely, the now skinnier Sharonna.

    Sorry.  I didn't mean to upset you by asking you that when you were such a fatty, but let's face it, when you're wearing something that looks like a maternity dress, you're just asking for it.  I really did think you were going to drop that kid at any moment.  Sorry again.  Just chalk it up to my complete lack of tact and good manners.
