Conversation in an Elevator Today.
This is a true story.
Scene: I was taking the elevator downstairs this morning to get my breakfast of cheese grits. I was completely focused on the cheesy goodness I was about to partake in. Mty concentration was interrupted when the elevator doors opened and I was joined by a familiar lady from my building. This lady immediately stares directly at my stomach. I am not exaggerating when I say she was staring laser holes through my cardigan.
I politely smiled at her and said, “Are you staring at my stomach?”
I was thinking to myself if she is going to make me uncomfortable, I will make her uncomfortable.
Lady: “No.”
Me: (still smiling ever so politely.) “Really, I could have sworn you were staring at my stomach.”
Lady: (nervous laughter) “No.”
Me: “Oh, well if you WERE staring at my stomach, I can tell you that YES indeed I am pregnant and I am due in April.”
Lady: “I thought you looked different in the middle. Congratulations!!!! That is wonderful news!”
Me: “Thank you. I am very excited.”
Lesson Learned. People lie to your face. Even practical strangers. And then act like your best friend. I was waiting for her to jot down her address for an invite to my baby shower. Ridiculous.
Love the new format and decor. I am sure she was just jealous of your cuteness.
ReplyDeleteUhh noo... I wasn't staring at your stomach... I was looking at your ... belt?? No, your belly button... errr.... yeah I was staring at your stomach.
ReplyDeleteThe next time I read a blog, I hope that it doesnt disappoint me as much as this one. I mean, I know it was my choice to read, but I actually thought you have something interesting to say. All I hear is a bunch of whining about something that you could fix if you werent too busy looking for attention. فنى مصاعد
