The Stuff "THEY" Don't Tell You...Part 2

Ok Ok - I have to say that this is something that several people have warned me of - but something I didn't take seriously because it seems so odd that this happens...Like there is no way that another person would think this was ok...

The Belly Touching!!!

Hello...at what point in time does knowing that I am pregnant make it totally acceptable for you, as someone that I don't know well or even at all, to walk up and touch my belly. I mean I have had people that I hardly know, push their way through crowds, stop dead in their tracks, bee line for my belly and even touch me - yes hello...the belly is still very much a part of ME - before they even say hi. WTF!

I mean really - I see a cute guy on the street - and I notice that he has a cute butt...do I run up and touch it. Even more so - If my husband noticed a hot girl on the street with a nice set of...well...assets...is he now allowed to stop traffic to run up and touch them - NO...he would be arrested, divorced and in a world of hurt...so I am not sure where or when it became ok to group my mid section simply because there is another life in there.

Hands off people...NOT OK!

I was telling my mother-in-law today that there is a very short list of people that are allowed to "Touch the Belly" and while that list is more of a flowing day by day type of deal...I do know one thing - you are not on it if
a) I don't know you
b) I have met you once
c) I have seen you around but have had less than five conversations with you
d) you are creepy
e) you smell
f) you are one of my vendors or clients that I would not call a friend outside of the work setting
g) you are a strange lady in line at the grocery store
h) you are a friend of a friend

I mean REALLY!

I feel like I need to get a shirt that says something along the lines of "Hands Off" - "Touch It & Die" "You Break It You Buy It"

Thoughts on if it is socially acceptable or even legal to taze the next person not on my list that touches my belly - hello isn't it like harassment or something...don't we still believe in personal space and not putting our hands on people we have no right to put our hands on...WTF!

I want a pretzel from Aunt Annie's...my office smells like one and now the craving has hit -

Happy Friday!
