@Seek_Kolinahr I wanted to bludgeon every single person who asked me I was pregnant. No I’m not. YES I’M FUCKING SURE! And who drowns their grilled chicken in butter? Who are you, Paula Deen?
I’m a vegetarian and in summer everybody eats hot dogs and hamburgers, not much else on the menu of a bar-b-que. You either just fit in or draw a lot of attention to yourself.
Pregnant? That reminded me of how ticked off I was when I was married for about two years and started telling people I was pregnant. I was so excited and just about everybody I knew, including both our parents, asked us: “Are you going to get an abortion?”
No, we’re not f’n going to get an abortion, we worked to make this happen. Nobody was happy for us. But that was when abortion wasn’t an issue. Now almost all the exact same people would never admit they once supported the right to choose. It’s not politically correct.
I have no problem with choice but when someone is excitedly sharing the good news, it’s a bummer to be asked if you’re planning an abortion. I had my first at 22, admittedly young but not 16 for god sake.
