Strangers Say Hello


Today I went to Target to return something and an old woman struck up a conversation with me.  It started with her asking me, “When are you due?”  And then telling me her granddaughters were both born in March also. She then of course asked me if I knew the gender.  There was a mother with a toddler in line ahead of us and the kid started crying.  The lady said, “I hope you’re ready for that.  They just start crying for no rhyme or reason.”  It was a short conversation but interesting.  I don’t really have much experience with random strangers striking up conversations with me.  It’s rarely happened in my life unless it was a guy trying to gauge interest.  I had heard that random people will just want to talk to you when you’re pregnant.  I suppose it’s something everyone relates to on some level. I guess being noticeably pregnant makes a woman more approachable.
