I saw a pregnant woman walk by
her waddle could make a duck cry
and when she sat right next to me
she did it slowly to the count of three
her face held the knowledge of hidden joy
I could see her wondering - girl or boy?
her feet were swollen, tired and veined
the weight of two had them strained
she stroked her stomach like a lover
the subconscious act of an expecting mother
her breath was laboured, with none to spare
as if the baby was using up half her air
I asked her when she was due
in reply she turned a strange hue of blue
I looked more closely and my mouth opened wide
to reveal my foot that was stuck inside

Che - I do have small feet but still a foot in the mouth is never comfortable!!!
Mama - mia - Go ahead, have a laugh at my expense. I'm still getting over being mortified...

"This is where Che goes to laugh."

Abhi - Glad you liked.
Che - Best we stop this train of thought right now...it's another foot in mouth waiting to happen!!
Vartika - I was laughing at your 'unexpected happened' because this situation literally went from 'expecting' to 'unexpecting' right in front of my eyes.
Indeed. My foot is quite big. Wont be fun.
guezz ur obsession with "dental classes" have inspired u to use "wide open mouth" as the center of attraction :-)
OMG !! Hillarious stuff...am sure this time you needed to call the paramedics to get your foot out of your mouth ;)
Great post !!
Good one! My boss did it once to a colleague, two years later, she is still to get over it!

Sawan - I think my obsession with faux paux did that!
Gauri - My immediate concern was - how do I get out of here right now...ofcourse I'd be figuratively fleeing on 1 foot....
DI - Luckily I don't know this woman and still it will take me a long while before I ask someone else (who really is pregnant) when the baby is due!!!
brilliant! funny! u did it again!
ur the bright 'n' funny spot in my life :-)
You've been tagged! Get to it in your own sweet time!
Thatz quite difficult isn't it?? putting foot in the mouth.. :-?
In one word: AWESOME!

What a way to tell a story.
Cheers!
Second look at life - Hiya california girl. Good to know that you're smiling.
