Today I was at the YMCA snack bar with my two young children ordering up some food. While the cafe worker was getting my order together, a man with a YMCA Volunteer badge came up to be and we had the following conversation:
Guy: "mumble mumble mumble I have to say I find you attractive mumble mumble mumble"
Me:
(thinking maybe I didn't understand with all the mumbling) "What?!?"Guy: "mumble mumble mumble I find you attractive mumble mumble mumble"
Me: dead silence. I'm stunned. I don't get hit on...like ever. I'm always with my kids and/or my husband. Both kids start fussing about something.
Guy: (pointing to my 33-week belly) "I"m good at this...5 months?"
Me: "Seven." My son starts crying. Is this guy seriously using my pregnant belly as a way to flirt?
Guy: "Is this your son?"
Me: "yes"
Guy starts trying to console DS. He reaches down to touch him so I protectively pick him up and DS shoots guy a nasty look (I was proud). I throw my credit card on the counter to speed up the process as quickly as possible.
Guy: "No, let me get this for you."
Me: very sternly, "No, I will get it."
Guy: "I got it." Tries to be all suave. There may have been a wink or something.
Me: "No."

Cashier senses awkwardness and quickly swipes my card. Whew!
I grab my food, walk away and sit down. A few minutes later I had to go back to get a napkin and I can see him checking out my backside as I walk by. Then he comes and sits down at the table next to us.
I know I'm hot stuff and all
but that was just weird. Did I mention that I am 33-weeks pregnant and had my 4yo daughter and 2yo son with me?
