So, tonight, I went to get take-out from Los Cucos for my Mom and me. Because I didn't have the number for the restaurant, I went in and ordered at the bar--a little awkward being a pregnant lady in a roller derby uniform (long story) drinking water at a crowded bar. A guy came and sat down next to me and started talking to me about my derby uniform. He wasn't being overtly tacky, but was definitely trying to pick me up. That is, until this part of the conversation:
Guy- So I guess you're in training [for derby] and that's why you're not having a margarita?
Me- Uh, actually I'm pregnant, and that's why I'm not drinking a margarita.
Then we spent a few awkward minutes talking. It was kind of hard for him to duck out at that point without looking like a jerk. Overall, I was pretty amused by the whole thing. Think he'll tell his friends that he tried to pick up a pregnant lady? Or maybe that would be embarrassing. In any case, take that, Kroger checkout lady who thought I was having twins--dude in the bar didn't even notice! It's odd when you're married and get hit on, but it's doubly odd (pun intended) to get hit on when you're pregnant.
This made me laugh…I remember when my friend and I (both largely pregnant) were heading to the mall in her car and these guys pulled up next to us and were obviously trying to get our attention. We just laughed and laughed thinking about what they would do if they realized that they were flirting with two pregnant mamas :) My husband didn’t think it was funny at all ;)
