Smuggling a pumpkin??

So, I was walking back to my car today at the grocery store....empty handed...and I hear a GROWN MAN yell at me:

HEY YOU!  ARE YOU STEALING A PUMPKIN OR SOMETHING?!

It didn't register that he was talking to me, and then I was a tad mortified as it was probably OBVIOUS he was yelling at me.  It was kind of funny, but I was embarrassed.  My hubby was ticked that a grown man would think that's funny to yell at a pregnant woman in a public (very busy) grocery store parking lot.  Most of my friends got a chuckle out of it but felt bad.  RIGHT!  LOL.

LMAO Admit it. If it was a friend of yours you would be laughing too. Altho it was rude for a complete stranger to say that.

LOL

I probably would have turned around and said, "no, just stealing your brain"  

I am sure he was trying to be funny-  I probably would have known he was talking to me, because I am super focused on it...but I probably would have said "No- I am stealing 2!" Men- sometimes they are oblivious to how to tell us that it's cute (the baby bump).  My step-dad who I am very close to has said on many occasions how he believe that pregnant woman are the most beautiful people (it's not usually when I am pregnant, because he doesn't want me to feel awkward)...but now he'll come up and say "are you pregnant?" and I say "no it's a nasty rumor".  Enjoy your pregnancy...whoot- your over half way (since there are 2)?! 

wow...i think i might have just stopped and cried...although I am sure he was trying to be funny or something (thinking positive?)

I probably would have laughed later but I probably would have had a few choice words for him, but I am sensitive like that.

Okay... I feel kinda bad because I chuckled a bit myself. But you know what ? I think I still have some fat phobias that never worked out after surgery completely. I think if it happened to me (public size comments) I would have been a bit mortified. Kind of like this time.. right before surgery I was in Walgreens and this lady (pretty heavy set) was bending down to get band-aids and this little boy jumped on her back like she was a horse and yelled gitty-up. My Dad laughed so hard. I was just standing there feeling so bad for her. 

Personally, I would've laughed about it - maybe even had a great comeback and banter a little with the guy.

Some people (*not* saying you) are too damn serious and sensitive. Life is too short.

Chuckle it up, enjoy your pumpkin(s), you're a beautiful pregnant woman and guys are 'simple' - they know few ways to communicate other than 'simply'.
