Okay, that was weird.
Dec. 17th, 2004 10:54 amI 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?
