At work, walking from the kitchen back to my cube I'm stopped by our lovely and sweet custodian and the following conversation takes place:
Carole: Hi! Did you get to go home for the holidays?
Me: No, not this time. We went home earlier in the year for my Mom's birthday though and it was wonderful.
Carole: Oh, well did you still have a good Christmas?
Me: I did! My husbands family is here so we were all together, it was great!
Carole: That's wonderful. [Looks down at my belly] So did you swallow a turkey over the holidays?
Me: [Laughing] Nope!
Carole: [Surprised look on face] OH! Are you expecting?!?!?!
Me: [Laughing some more] Yup!
Carole: Oh my! How many months are you?
Me: [Calculating in my head 18 divided by 4] 4 and a half months!
Carole: Oh that's wonderful! I noticed you were getting fat in the face [framing my face] but I thought it was so pretty on you!
Me: [Slightly mortified] Yeah, I know I've definitely gained weight. [Awkward laugh]
Carole: Oh no its lovely on you! Congratulations! That's wonderful news!
So while I was told I'm getting fat in the face...at least some people think it looks pretty on me! LOL!!!!!
YOU'RE MY "PERFECT" DAUGHTER!!! AND CAROLE SAW THAT TOO!!!
