The comments I get about my changed figure
1. Are you pregnant: 3*
2. Perhaps you eat too much cheese: 1
3. You have got fat: 1
* Latest: Cheeky neighborhood girl (about 4 or 5?) asked me yesterday evening. She told me she also asks her mother every day, and her mother said if she asks again, "she'll moirder her." I'm with her mum on this one if Cheeky asks me again.
[Update a week later: Cheeky ran up to me yesterday when I was sitting outside my front door and told me that she was going to have a baby. She then proceeded to lift up her top and pull some brand name doll out from under it. Class. It is apparently a fascinating topic for her.]
People lie about 3 times in a 10-minute conversation (no relation with previous list):
"But why lie to appear competent or likable? Why not just be yourself? In fact, "just being yourself", if we examine it closely, takes creative effort. Our expression of who we are involves choices that reflect social and interpersonal context, our mood, our personality, our need to maintain our self-image and so on."Guardian article

The children ask me if I'm pregnant all the time. My theory is that they're fascinated by babies at that age and it has nothing to do with my beer consumption.
Just how big has your belly got?! J/k. Yours is a special case since you are surrounded by little'uns... Most of those comments/questions were from adults.
