Maybe she asked for clarification because you OBVIOUSLY don't need plus sizes and thought you might be buying for someone else. <em>Mama Luxe's last blog post..<a href='http://mamasaga.blogspot.com/2008/02/pregnancy-week-6-telling-doting.html' rel="nofollow">Pregnancy Week 6: Telling the Doting Grandparents</a></em> Yeah, I agree with the poster who noted that women’s = plus size in retail.

Last summer I was buying shoes at Macy's and the sales guy said that of course I'd need to get a pedicure but THEN the shoes would be really cute on me.

First of all my husband had a vasectomy.... Unless this is the second coming of the conception immaculata...pregnancy is a for sure no-go for me. I had on a new babydoll style shirt from Nicole Miller and I loved it..... I will never wear it again unless I plan to "shop lift or hit a major buffet". Religon, politics and asking if someone is pregnant unless they are screaming "I have to push" are pretty much off limits for this gal!! Happy Valentines Day!!!!

She just could NOT believe that you would want or need plus size jeans. Now, if she had said, "Oh, you need the plus sizes.." I would have all I could do not to smack the livin' $%!* outta her. I was having my hair done a while ago, and asked for highlights. The stylist started giving me an all-over dark brown color (???), so I asked her what she was doing. She responded, "Honey, I have to put the color in before I can take it out." Ouch. I think I'm still traumatized.
