This cracked me up. I gained a lot of weight since my firefighting days due to working too much, eating hospital food, and not working out due to a stalker. So someone saw me four or five years later and thought I was pregnant. I thought it was hilarious because of how embarrassed she was.

I had a good laugh about it.

Though I am now at a normal weight, I was about 35 pounds heavier 8 years ago when I worked the night shift at a nursing home. One of my residents, a lady with Alzheimer's, stared intently at my backside and said, "Girl, you are gettin' fat!"

She took another hard look at my booty and chimed, "Yes, girl! You are sure enough gettin' fat! You must be piggin' out!"

I used to get asked too frequently if I were pregnant... Even though I was 5'6" and about 140# when I was in my early thirties. I think it was because I was a 36DD cup. Hahaha. Now that I'm older and plumper all over I don't get asked that question anymore. Oh well.....

My neighbor asked me if I was pregnant. I said "no, not that I know of." I took a pregnancy test the day after and... big fat positive lol. Turns out, I was only 4 or 5 weeks at the time- so strange.
