1) Moron 1: “Wow Jess, your butt is getting big and pudgy!!”
The following day….
2) Moron 2: “I think you are having a girl.”
Me: “Why is that?”
Moron 2: “Because your butt is getting a shelf on it.”
And today…
3) Moron 3: “Are you pregnant?”
Me: “Sure am.”
Moron 3: “That baby went straight to your butt.”
I called each and every one of these morons out on their inappropriate comments and they all had the same response… “NOOOO, I didn’t mean it in a bad way!! You have a nice butt!!!” Now, either I missed something in English class, or these morons are also crazy. The last time I checked, pudgy and shelf are not the words a sane person would use when trying to compliment a hormonal and emotional pregnant lady, OR ANY PERSON AT ALL for that matter!!!!! (Moron 1 and 2 are both pregnant coworkers of mine, so I will chalk up their behavior to pregnancy brain – love you both!!!.. However, Moron 3 is a total stranger- ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
So here is my first parenting lesson to all the morons out there... The next time you decide to comment on a pregnant woman’s body, stop and think about the words coming out of your mouth. If it would hurt your feelings to hear, it’s probably not advisable to say to others!
More importantly... Here is a pic of the 16 week bump (and my pudgy shelf butt!!)
Until next time…
You look great Jess!
ReplyDeletePeople don't know how to talk to pregnant women. Working at the restaurant while pregnant led to LOTS of morons saying things like "WOW you look like you're going to pop!" Me: "Gee thanks. I have 2 more months jerk." The worst is when it's from random strangers!
forget the pudgy shelf butt look at that belly TEHE
ReplyDeleteMmmm... pudgy... :-)
