A Man with a Brain

So curiously enough not all men are idiots when it comes to talking to pregnant women.  Apparently just the married ones with kids (i.e. yesterday's one liner).  I guess it's the men without kids or a wife who know how to talk to women.  Ironic, no?

I was just heating up my lunch when a male co-worker came in the break room and asked me, "So, I don't remember, how many kids do you have?"

I have no idea if he was actually just curious about my kid count.  OR, if he noticed my growing belly and was using this line as a means for me to mention that yes, I am in fact preggo.  Whatever the case, it was the perfect thing to say and I walked away from our conversation feeling great and enjoyed the opportunity to talk about Lukas and his soon-to-be little brother.  And in return he told me what it was like growing up with two brothers close in age (lots of competition because of sports and lots of fighting growing up, but they became BFFs once college rolled around - here's hoping).

So, I'm going to add this to the acceptable things to say to a pregnant woman.  Perfect to use with a co-worker who you don't know very well.

My faith is momentarily restored.  But I'm sure it won't last long...
