Oh how I love loathe the questions that I hear being a woman at/past her due date. Some of them are laughable, others are....how shall I say...annoying.
In a world where God has not taught me the value of holding my tongue, these might be my responses. In a world where one-too-many people ask me the same question for the bazillionth time, these might be my responses.
I'm still working on acquiring a gracious spirit people. Cut me some stinkin' slack.
1) Are you EVER gonna have that baby?!?
"Why no. I thought I'd just stay pregnant forever. Babies easier to take care of this way."
2) WHEN are you going to have that baby?!?
"I'm not. Actually, I'm not really pregnant at all. APRIL FOOLS!!"
3) WHY are you here and not at the hospital having that baby!?!
"Because I thought it would be a much better day if I postponed meeting my child and instead spent some quality time with you, answering questions about my cervix and the enormity of my stomach."
4) Are you still pregnant?
"No. I thought it would be fun to have the baby then wear a fat, pregnant belly suit and fool everyone. The baby was sleeping when we left so we decided not to wake her and left her at home."
5) Man! You are huge! Isn't your doctor concerned?
"Yes. In fact my doctor told me that I was a gigantic blimp and he couldn't believe that I hadn't spontaneously exploded yet. I'm a medical marvel, really."
-------
Regardless of whether or not you are 41+ weeks pregnant, I find that people tend to ask questions that are generally baffling/crazy/funny/annoying.
So, what crazy, stupid or otherwise annoying questions have people asked you lately?
