5. When I was eight months pregnant

my wedding ring didn't fit anymore. I was 23, but looked about 16. An elderly lady came up to me in the grocery store lecturing me about how she CERTAINLY hopes I'm going to give up my baby for adoption, because a child deserves a mother AND a father.

I said "My baby has a father!"

She said, "Well, it deserves to grow up with one around. And YOU should finish school."

I looked at her and said "Just how old do you think I am? I'm a HIGH SCHOOL TEACHER. I'm 23 and a college graduate. I'm married."

She was so damn embarrassed. She sort of slinked away.
