Lost in Translation
So last night Trixie and I dined on Chinese food and then went to pick up my dry cleaning.
My dry cleaner rocks.
Good guy, great service.
He's Korean, so sometimes I have to listen closely to what he's saying.
I walked in to get my items and he looks at me and pats his belly with both hands, and asks "When baby?"
I think he's having a go at me, so I grin and respond "Oh, a couple of months."
His faces contorts to reflect confusion and I bid him a good night on my way out the door.
I tell Trixie what he said and she laughs.
As I prowl down the street, however, his comments weigh heavier and heavier in my mind.
I then ask Trixie "I know I'm over weight, but I don't look pregnant, do I?"
She then tells me that she thinks he was inquiring as to when "we'll" be pregnant.
What do you think?

Where did you find that picture? It's one of the creepiest things I've ever seen...
It's amazing what you find when you do a google search for "pregnant woman".
it's the well-known Korean pickup line: hey, baby?
