I work at an animal shelter and we have a lot of volunteers there. It has gotten to the point where I can't remember which volunteers know that I'm pg and which don't.
Today I swept the floor and told one of our volunteers that I had swept but not mopped because I wasn't supposed to handle the chemicals. He's a great guy, but a little awkward in social situations. He said "Why can't you handle the chemicals?" I told him it was because I was pregnant.
His response?
"Oh, I was thinking it looked like you had put on a little weight..."
I said "That's not something you should say to a woman!", laughing.
He said "But at least you have a reason!"
Such a nice guy. Such terrible social skills. :-)
