Today: work cafeteria
Waited on line with my salad… got to the check out counter.
Me: Hello
Clerk: Hi.
He was trying to make small talk as he was ringing up my salad.
Clerk: So, do you know if you’re having a boy or a girl.
Me: Excuse me?
Clerk: Do you know if you’re having a boy or a girl?
Me: I’m not pregnant.
Clerk: Oh.
Me: I had twins 3 months ago.
Clerk: (trying to hide his humiliation) umm.. do you have a picture of him?
Me: No. I had two girls. I’m embarrassed for you.
Walked away.
SO, as I was saying… I still look pregnant. I wasn’t offended, I mean I did just have two babies, it will take time for my tummy to go down. I was more embarrassed for him.
there you go.
THE END

Poor guy. I’ve had someone ask me when I was due before and I had never been pregnant.
K J and the kids said
I’m not buying in to your pitty party
you look great to me.
Chas said
And this is why I never ask anyone when they’re due unless I know that they are pregnant beyond a shadow of a doubt.
Maya, I haven’t seen your belly, but you really are beautiful. That belly will return to a normal state soon enough.

Obviously that clerk has vision issues…honestly.

OK, so you still look pregnant, but we ALL know that looking pregnant does not equal looking FAT. There is a big, big difference, you’ve been both places so you know that the world sees the two very differently.
I am fat, I am sure of that, and would be without being pregnant. However, I love how I look pregnant. I really feel better about myself and my body than I have in years.
So, maybe I would agree you have baby fat. But I would never agree to saying you are fat. ‘Cause fat you ain’t.

Oh, Maya, that post was HYSTERICAL. When I read that you said “I’m embarrassed for you” to him, I cracked up so loud that Tiger came running in from the other room. I LOVE how you call a spade a spade.
And do you know what? I’m not just saying this to make you feel better, but you are one STUNNING looking woman. Seriously, you’re sexy, sultry, and hot.

The same thing happened to me at the supermarket last week! The checkout clerk tried to cover it up by saying I looked GREAT for just having had twins a month ago. I thought my belly would have disappeared by now. Sigh.

Oh No! How horrible. That had to be embarrassing for him…hopefully he thinks twice before saying that again. I’m sorry that happened to you. I’m sure it bothered you some but you did have twins 3 months ago and you will lose the baby weight. I think you’re beautiful… you look great in all of the photos.

I like your comment back to him!
I second the other comments. You are a very beautiful woman and should not worry about the weight, it will come off soon enough. Besides, it was all worth it for those two! They are so adorable!

You do look great though
I was just telling my co-worker today that I am trying so hard to stay away from empire waisted shirts because they aren’t helping. Plus, I keep hearing “you look great…for having twins”, which I know is meant to be a compliment but I still let it get to me as I am still heavy and that maybe it just looks like I had one baby!! HAHAHA
Here I am going on 8 months of having the girls and I’ve still got the tummy. It’s true what they say that it is so much harder to get it off the older you get.
But, again, you are beautiful!

Good for you for setting him straight. I love that you said, “I’m embarrassed for you.” I bet he’ll never ask that question again!
