Over the past few weeks I've noticed that my bump is not only getting my some extra attention, but it has also earned me a few perks.
Example 1: When buying a new car and having agreed to pay the price the dealer asked, he knocked off an additional $500 when I sat down to write the check!
Example 2: We are moving in about a month and today I dropped in on our new landlord to ask a few questions. I managed to talk him into replacing the carpet before we move in and painting accent colors in two rooms.
What extra perks or unexpected acts of kindness/sympathy has your bump earned you?
Re: Bump = Perks
I never seem to be without a chair when I'm out
At school, whenever they reward the kids with popcorn or pickles or something, then give me one, too... for the baby, they always say. The other teachers give me bottles of water all the time.
At Cheddar's (twice now) I've gotten 2 of those yummy honey butter croissants with my salad instead of one. Didn't even ask- just mentioned how yummy they were.
I think that just made my day. You always here about teenagers being...well...teenagers and especially a boy. I hope my DS's grow up to be that polite.
