Attack of the hormones

I'm a teacher, and the other day I was HUNGRY at lunch time, so I made a beeline to the teacher's cafeteria. The very sweet and friendly lunch lady said to me, "I wish you looked pregnant."

I responded, "I'm nearly six months pregnant!"

"Yeah, but you don't look pregnant,"  she responded.

 Usually, I would just shrug it off, but I felt my eyes well up, and I said, "That's kind of mean to say." My brain knew this was overreacting, but the hormones were taking over. I walked away to prevent myself from getting upset (crying at any job sucks but at a school full of teenagers? No, I'm not having it.)

 Lunch lady CHASES me and GRABS me to apologize (in front of a cafeteria full of students.) I told her to not make a scene, it was fine, just let me go.

 Ugh. Thanks, hormones.

I'm a lunatic, right?

    Wow, not cool, lunch lady.  People just can't seem to shut their mouths sometimes.

    wow. that sucks. some hormones, but mostly...stupid people. I'm sure you don't look six months pregnant normally.

    A stranger didn't realize (the baby was kicking really hard and I just had to stand there for a second)...she wasn't getting that I am 6 months pregnant and huge. Thanks... do you think I normally look like this? UGHHH

    I'd totally react the same way too and you did a great job of handling the situation despite the hormones. Good job :)
