Poking Fun At Preggo
March 17, 2008
Yesterday morning, an old friend and I went out for breakfast while she was here in town. We were excited to see each other and to spend some time without the kids to catch up and be silly.
We headed to Cora’s, which is this awesome breakfast place that has really made a name for itself here in town. They serve a ton of fresh fruit and the chain was started by a single mom. Totally cool and definitely a success.
With success, comes popularity and Cora’s is no exception. We stood in line for a good ten minutes but I know from experience that the lineup easily quadruples that once church lets out.
We stood behind a woman who was at least 17 months pregnant. She joked to her husband that if her water broke, they had forgotten the cell phone. I piped up in jest and said, “You could borrow mine, you know. It’s not like NO ONE would help you.” We laughed and joked about nobody helping her and my friend offered to throw apple juice at her feet so people wouldn’t point and laugh that she had wet herself.
The line passed fairly quickly and when we parted (they were being seated), my friend promised the woman that she would order apple juice “just in case.”
Incidently, we were seated right next to the couple and joked that we’d have to keep our promise.
About 5 minutes into our breakfast, a waitress came by with a bottle of apple juice and told us it was from “a secret admirer - a couple.”
We laughed and the pregnant couple didn’t make eye contact, so I wasn’t sure if they thought we were crazy or what. I figured they just got preoccupied with their toddler and didn’t see the delivery of their juice. So we kept eating & talking.
A few minutes later, a young man, about 20 years old, came over to our table and asked, “Did you get the apple juice I sent over?”
My friend and I looked at each other blankly.
It was pretty uncomfortable. I had no idea who this guy was. There was an awkward pause and he repeated the question. Just as I was about to ask him who he was…
From behind him, my trainer shows up. Master Homie G in Da House sent the apple juice!
We told her and her boy-toy what had transpired in line and we laughed with them. Then MHGIDH inspected my breakfast (oatmeal and fruit) and approved. Whew!
They went back to their table and my friend went over to the pregnant couple to tell them what happened. The woman was laughing so hard I thought we’d have to use the juice trick for real!
The last thing my friend said to the woman as she placed the bottle of juice on the table?
“Put this in your purse. The pressure of being your juice runner is just too much.”

Your life is so much more interesting than mine. Maybe if I started laughing at people in public it’d improve, tho’…
