It happens to me all the time (I mean food getting stuck in between my teeth) and then I'm happy when people follow your rule. And that pregnancy thing too: I was in my twenties and a guy asked if I was pregnant because being on the pill I gained like a whale in no time. Not a funny thing to hear let me tell you:) Loved your post though Leanne,<br />xx AbbyAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04600314875326002790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4722898771124083282.post-10651698287724853002015-08-22T19:26:12.211+08:002015-08-22T19:26:12.211+08:00These are ALL so good!

I also NEVER ask if someone is pregnant because it has happened to me (I have a wine belly, LOL!!) several times over the years. The last time it happened, I was 48 years old and mortified! But my sister brought up a good point---she sad, "Hey, at least they thought you were still YOUNG enough to be pregnant!" menopausal mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09058933838070665032noreply@blogger.com
