Every couple of days a similar story happens ....
Tonight while at the grocery store check out lane, one of those automatic coupons printed out. Mine printed out one for infant formula. He asked if I wanted it. "Yes", I replied. He asked if I had a little one at home. I told him I had one on the way.
"Oh, really? When are you due?", he asked.
"November 1st". I said.
HAHAHAHAHAHA. I know, I'm so mean, but it's just too funny to me to mess with people on this one. Because what happens next EVERY time, is they look to my stomach with a confused gaze and politely say congratulations.
So while I know I've put on a few "pregnancy pounds" during the adoption, I don't think I look like I'm "due" in 12 days. So, I proceed to tell them that I'm adopting from Ethiopia. They usually feel rather awkward at this point.
Very fun.
Our adoption journey from Ethiopia to Colorado to Uganda and back.
we would have waaaaaaay to much fun if we lived near each other. I love making people feel just a little bit awkward sometimes. not all the time . . .just when the right moment arises. :) hows "the list" coming?
