You look like Jet



My ten year old nephew lives with his mom but visits his dad on weekends. At his dad’s house, there is a non-pedigree female dog named Jet. Jet makes puppies almost every year, as his dad sells the puppies to earn residual income. Jet’s most recent accomplishment was the birth of eight puppies. 

I’m now seven months pregnant and the further along I get in this journey the bigger my bump becomes, i.e. I’m finally showing. When I first told my nephew that I was pregnant he didn’t believe me, so now that he has physical/tangible proof, he no longer believes that I was stringing him along. One night while visiting his mother’s house he exclaimed “ Hmmm let me see your belly. Yes, you are pregnant. You finally look like Jet!” 

Really? He was comparing me to a dog? The things children innocently say. All I could do was laugh. He then proceeded to tell me that he didn’t mean it in a bad way. In fact, I was clearly fitter than Jet, as I wasn’t walking looking tired, panting with my tongue hanging out of my mouth. Lol. I love that kid!

What’s the funniest thing a child or anyone has ever said to you about your baby bump? Or what’s the funniest thing you’ve ever said to a pregnant woman? Do share.

Add a spark to your world!
