Nice to meet you, too!

Here's the transcript of a nice conversation from last night. (Name changed to protect the innocent.)

P - "Hi, I don't think we've met....I'm Penelope."
Me - "Oh, nice to meet you. I'm Jennifer."
P - "So, when is your baby due?"
Me - "January 8."
P, looking absolutely astonished - "Wow! Are you sure it's not TWINS?!"
Me, glancing at my belly - "Ummm... yes..."

No, my feelings weren't hurt, but my sweet friend Jamie tried to take up for me, since I was too shocked to say much in response. She said something about my carrying so much of the weight right in my belly, and the lady just kinda drifted away. I enjoyed sharing the story all night, because it amazed me how bold this complete stranger was. Aren't people funny? Jamie said if the lady hadn't been wearing an Auburn shirt, she would've decked her for me. :-)
