(Although one co-worker and one attorney asked me if I had gained a lot of weight recently - not meaning as in a baby. Seriously, who says this stuff??)

God, people! Never comment on a lady's weight! Even if it's a positive comment. Just say she's looking good or something.

Seriously, who says this stuff?

People like my mother in law who made "If that's Joe's baby..." comments while I was pregnant.

What she meant to say was, "If the baby takes after Joe..." but still. Think before you open your piehole.

Wasn't your MIL the same one who said something about Em having Joe's metabolism and not yours? That stuck with me because it was so damn rude.

I've had people pat my belly and ask me if I was pregnant again. And OK I don't have washboard abs or anything, but still... I was a bit horrified.

I had to Google the ingredients for a Pink Lady, and I think I just threw up in my mouth a little.

Grenadine, cream, gin, and EGG WHITE?!

That's alcohol abuse, that's what it is.

Prefaced by me being me, just so's you understand, but 1/2 of my krav friends have complimented me on my recent weight loss, and the sensible half have worried looks on their faces when they comment on it.

Actually, the most sensible of them all just listen silently when I bitch, really.

But, honestly, I made enough noise about being happy with the weight gain that I'm surprised so many people think I should be happy by dropping it all, and faster than I put it on. Didn't they believe me?

Moral of the story: Yeah, it's safer to shut up.

Oh, I wish I hadn't read that while eating my yogurt.

Grenadine, cream, gin, and EGG WHITE?!

I did NOT put egg white in mine and it was still gross. It was just very ginny. And I like gin.

Maybe the egg white would have saved it.

Wasn't your MIL the same one who said something about Em having Joe's metabolism and not yours? That stuck with me because it was so damn rude.

Yep! That's her!
