DON'T TOUCH MY STOMACH!!

Okay, so yesterday I got an inside look at what it is going to be like when I am pregnant in the future (far future). My boss was telling me what I needed to do to get ready for us opening when all of a sudden, she stops talking, stares at my stomach and then slowly reaches over and pats/rubs it! WTF?? All I could say was "No", as in, "No, I'm not pregnant." The word pregnant never actually was said by either of us, but I knew what she was referring to when she patted my stomach. Who does that??



I have heard many ladies complain about how people would always touch their stomachs when they were pregnant which is something I completely don't understand at all. Why do people suddenly think that since you are growing a child in your stomach, it is okay to go ahead and touch you? They wouldn't think it was okay to come and touch your stomach normally, so why when you have a child in there? But then, for someone to reach out and touch your stomach when they don't even know if you are pregnant, that is even worse. Why would you do that?



Oh yeah, then when I told her "No, I'm not pregnant." She says, "Oh, just relaxing for summer then?" What? Did she just call me fat? I will be glad when I do not have her as a boss any more. But I will be sad to be leaving the beautiful new science building!
