Today we went into a maternity store so R could find a pajama top long enough to actually cover her navel. Her current top isn't cutting it anymore. She found a few simple long-sleeved tops and tried them on in the dressing room. When she came out, a store employee happened to walk by. She asked us if we needed any help, so I explained that R was just looking for a longer pajama shirt.
The employee asked, "Is that your real stomach, or are you wearing one of the belly pads?"
We both gave her a blank look for a moment, and R replied, "Yep, this is real." The clerk then said something about how incredibly tiny R was and scooted off to some less awkward corner of the store, leaving R blushing (just a little). Who can blame her? It was a bit of an unexpected question.
Well, there's a first time for everything.
