The Pregnancy Hat: the turkey joke

I love that I’m going to have Colton around the holidays. I really didn’t think the holidays could get more magical. But, before this baby is born, I have a tiny request. When you see me waddling around town and you ask, (as most strangers do), “when are you due?” and I reply, “the Sunday after Thanksgiving” … please resist the urge to say, ”Well, it looks like you’ve got a turkey in the oven.”

I can’t even tell you how many times this has happened.

    Oh my goodness! I can’t believe people say that to you first. Secondly – I got my share of comments while I was pregnant too but none quite like that!

      You should have heard the jokes last time around – this one man literally said to me, “are you having twins?” I said, “no” and he replied, “are you sure?” I glared at him and he hurried off.

        I would have glared too!! Most of the looks I got were evil stares. I look so young everyone assumed I was a pregnant teenager. I got a lot of, “How old are you!?” instead of, “When are you due?” haha.

      I actually got it again this morning. “When are you due?” (them) “Thanksgiving” (me) “Ahhhh, you’ve got a turkey in there” (them).
