why do men say anything ever

Yesterday, a brief conversation between me and a fellow employee (who is a man) went as follows:

Man: So Holli! How's the pregnancy going? Do you only have a few weeks left now?

Me: [Really? Am I that HUGE already? Do I have to answer this? Whatever. He doesn't know anything. Just be nice.] Ummm... actually, it's more like a few months, haha. I'll be here until mid-March and then the baby should come sometime in April.

Man: [Looks very surprised. Obviously knows he put his foot in his mouth. Obviously.] Ohhhh... really? You sure you're not having TWINS???

Me: [Seriously? Worst recovery ever, dude! Are you TRYING to destroy any remains of the healthy body image I once had?] Hahaha...[forced laugh]...Yep!...We're pretty sure!...Just one baby! Haha...

Man: [Decides it's a good idea to elaborate on this topic] You know, my wife had twins once. It was a big surprise for us! She got REALLY big REALLY fast!

Me: [more forced laughter] Ha ha ha...

OHMYGOSH. PLEASE JUST STOP TALKING TO ME.

You always make me laugh so hard! And I loved getting caught up with all your pics from 2012. You guys had a great year, but I think this year will be even bigger and better.

ugh! I once had this old lady at Costco come up to me and push my belly button back in! She said I looked like I was about to pop. THE NERVE.
