"When Is Your Baby Due?"
This was the icebreaker the pedicure technician used on me this past weekend as I settled in for an hour of relaxation (thanks to a gift certificate my husband gave me for Christmas).
But I'm NOT pregnant. Not that it really upset me--I'm aware of how I look, but I really didn't need to be reminded that my belly isn't quite as flat as it used to be (I'm slowly working on it) before I had 2 kids. The lady wasn't even apologetic...she just muttered something about how my belly looked big. I would think that a day spa worker would be a little more sensitive about asking that question. Oh well, at least they charged me $10 less than I expected.
i almost made a similar comment to the woman who cuts my hair until i saw a pack of cigarettes on her table. henceforth (and confirmed as the best policy by many others), i never speculate someone is pregnant unless they offer the info themselves. sounds like this should be in the day spa handbook, too.
As someone who rarely talks to strangers, I'm surprised by what others are comfortable saying. I was at a coffee shop with my sister last weekend and a woman standing behind us tapped me on the shoulder to ask us if we were twins. I see twins every now and then but tend to keep my thoughts about it to myself.
