Now I'm actually starting to show the fact that I'm pregnant at work lately (not being able to fit any non-maternity pants helps), and with that come all the people who exclaim, "You're pregnant? I didn't know!" Often, I will have customers randomly ask me mid-transaction, "When are you due?" It catches me off guard and takes me a moment to recall just what they're talking about. It's my first.
Cutest, though, happened just the other day.
A young girl, about 10 or so, comes through my line with her parent/guardian. I greet the parent and ask how their day has been, and the girl suddenly asks me out of the blue:
"Baby boy or baby girl?"
After the half-second "Huh?" moment, I smiled at her and said, "Baby girl."
She immediately cheered, "Yay!" and waited patiently for me to ring up the coloring set she was buying.
That just kind of made my day.
