"Stranger Rub"

I was just reminded by Allison about my experience this past Friday and thought I should share. The term "Stranger Rub" may sound strange to many of you but automatically came to me after I was attacked by a older lady in the bathroom at a local restaurant. Up until this time I had not had the unpleasant experience of my belly being attacked by a stranger in a strange place. In fact I had just decided that no one did this anymore since I had made it 6 months already without it - so I had been going about my merry daily activities without even a concern that if left open a stranger would knowingly rub my belly for what seems like good luck. I am not going to lie - it is a very akward feeling - someone you have never laid eyes upon all of sudden pats and or rubs in a circular motion a singular body part of yours. In any other circumstance I could have had this women arrested or at least kicked out of the restaurant for such random touchiness, but no, because I am pregnant this action seems to be widely accepted.

Its not that I completely minded as this was a older lady who I was standing behind waiting to wash my hands. All I could say was "oh?!" while she was rubbing in that circular motion for what I thought was a tad bit too long. I have a feeling that this will not be the last time for the "Stranger Rub" - but one can only hope! Thank you for the table of friends I was able to walk back to with wide surprised eyes to share this momentous occasion with.

That is all. :)
