Okay, that was weird.

I was standing at the bus stop this morning, wearing a full-length overcoat buttoned up to mid-chest.

A middle-aged guy walked by and we made brief eye contact, so we nodded at each other. Then he stopped, waved at my midsection, and asked, "Girl?"

I was stunned.

"Yes," I said, "but how on earth could you tell?"

He grinned at me. "I always know. I guessed every one of my children." He wished me a happy holidays, and then went on his way.

Seriously: I know that people develop all kinds of theories based on how you're carrying, or whatever, but I was wearing a figure-obscuring wool coat. You can see that there is a bump, but not the shape of the bump. So how the hell?

while there's always the chance possibility, don't discount that maybe he really does know. it's an energy reading thing, for those of us who believe that's possible.

and sometimes, you can just tell.
