Almost anti social

~~~~ We are in the store for babies and my jacket is button to the neck, hands in pockets and my face is unreadable as i watch people as they stare at me. i wonder if i got a snot on my nose and i find myself furiously pass my hand over my nose to make sure it is clear. I watch intently and wait then finally it happens.
i grab a hold of my husband hand and this woman rub my belly and congratulate me. Another female stranger rubs my belly so that’s three for the day. She is pregnant too and i guess she expect me to rubs hers - like its some kind of unspoken tradition between society and the pregnant woman. So i smiled gracefully and answer her questions politely and moved on to do our shopping. Husband leaned over and whispered in my ear "see that wasn't so bad" i sighed and nod my head, "no that wasn’t so bad.
