another funny story

i went to detroit this weekend with some friends to go to a country music concert, but that wasn't even the funny part. (i'm not a country music fan, but i told a friend i would go with her, and i was excited to go shopping).

so before we left, we made a stop at target. i don't think i've ever been to target before, but i was intrigued. it was exactly like zellers. but we found some cute clothes to try on.

we're in the fitting rooms trying on some stuff, and this lady outside the fitting rooms seemed to be trying to get our attention and holding up a shirt. just a short sleeved pink button down shirt. i was in a tunic top and leggings i was trying on, and krista was already done and waiting for us, and we were the two who noticed the lady. this is the coversation that ensued:

krista (looking at the lady): are you talking to us?
lady: yes.
krista: we don't work here.
lady: look at this top, isn't it nice?
krista and me together: yeah it's cute.
lady: yeah there's a whole rack of them here. in the maternity section.
me: ok. (short pause) but i'm not pregnant.

then i start laughing my ass off. i think the lady's daughter was in the fitting rooms as well, so i felt kinda bad we were laughing at her mom. i don't even know what the lady said or did after that b/c i was laughing so hard i didn't pay attention. and i just wanted to change back to my regular clothes right away.

i wonder if she didn't have glasses on and thought one of us was her daughter.

or maybe it was a non-maternity top hidden in the maternity section and she wanted to share her finds with us.

or maybe she thought i was pregnant.

i was unsure about the top i was trying on, but i definitely didn't buy it after a lady potentially thought i was pregnant in it.

ouch.
