It happened again today!!!! I was belly rubbed by two complete strangers! They spotted me across a crowded store waiting in the check-out line and made a bee-line for my belly! One of them didn't even bother to ask, before rubbing by stomache! I know I'm big and all but I'm not sticking out beyond what normally would be my personal space bubble. Why do strangers think this is okay? I don't even like it when people I know touch me. I was seriously tempted to lean over to the one woman who given her age I was certain wasn't pregnant, just chubby around the mid-section and give her bulge a pat and ask her, 'And how about you, when are you due?' I should have!!!! That might have put an abrupt stop to this terribly offensive habit she had. Next time I'm going to! In fact I dare someone to try it. Why do I always think of the good one-liners once I'm home. Must be the shock!!!
