Back when I was pregnant...

I realized this story is nowhere on my blog, and it still deserves telling.

Back when I was pregnant with Marissa, my sister came to visit a month or two before my due date. She and I made a trip to the liquor store to get some beer for the household (meaning she and Wayne). We happened to take Lindsey along with us.

While we were in line to check out, there was a lady standing behind us who was clearly looking at me and the toddler running around, thinking that as a pregnant woman I shouldn't be buying beer. BUYING beer, people, not drinking beer. Both Kristi and I noticed her judgmental expression, at which point Kristi turns and says to me, "Jenny, are you sure your doctor said it's okay for you to drink while you're pregnant?"

To which I replied, "Why not? After all, SHE turned out all right" (Pointing to Lindsey).

At that point the two of us cracked up hysterically as the woman behind us looked at us in disgust.

It was awesome.

  2. I re-told this story at lunch recently, so I had to keep it for preservation via my blog. :-)

  3. Reminds me of the time we were in the convenience store in Redwing and the clerk asked Kristi, as she was checking out, if she had gas. To which Kris repled, "No, but thanks for asking."
