Really?

There really are many wonderful things about being pregnant.  Interestingly, while in public, strangers give you the right away when crossing a street, open random doors for you, and even give you a random smile.  However, on the flip side, strangers almost always ask you multiple times during pregnancy if you know what you are having.  I can understand the fascination but I cannot understand why a stranger would want to know or even ask such a question.  To break the ice?  To be nosy?  To be weird?  In my personal life I am very much a smart ass, sassed better than any other as a teenager, and am often accused by my husband for being way to sarcastic.  Ha, why be boring?  But to a stranger I am polite for the most part and respond with a shoulder shrug.  But I like this little cartoon and perhaps, I should joke a bit more and have some fun this time around...  I encourage you all to do the same!  Stay lighthearted!  The world already has enough serious problems, make a person laugh :-)
