We went out to breakfast this morning, and while waiting in the sitting area to be seated we were talking to an elderly couple. They started talking to us, because seeing us with 2 boys, people usually ask if my current baby belly is a girl or another boy. So we got to talking and the woman was also talking to my 5 year old son about having a new baby. And then my son asked the woman if she was pregnant and having a baby. I told him that was rude and its not something you ask a woman. The thing was the lady wasn't fat at all! No belly. I think because I'm pregnant, he just thinks a lot of women are too. And they commente on pregnancy first which I think confused my son, but my goodness its so obvious, there is Nooooo mistaking I'm pregnant. I still felt bad though, but she didn't seem to mind. Also the couple was in their 70s maybe so I guess she thought it was funny? She continued talking to us and didn't seem phased by it.
But oh I was still so embarassed!! I'm just grateful that the lady was thin, so that it wasn't mistaken as an insult on her weight. We told DS again not to say that to women (later) but he seemed very confused. For his little mind, asking a woman if they are having a baby is a nice question, and to be honest I've been getting it from strangers for months now, so I think he didnt quite understand why it was so rude.
