Did you ever know someone who was 1) utterly good-hearted and 2) utterly tactless? Well, I do, bless her heart; and on Sunday she approached me to ask how I was doing because I was "getting puffy and flushed around the face." Turns out she was worried I might have toxemia.
I know this lady and I dearly love her spirit, so I smiled and reassured her that I just tend to get puffy at the end of pregnancy, nothing to worry about and my blood pressure is fine. May I offer a suggestion, however?
Don't tell a pregnant lady, particularly one who's eight months pregnant, that she looks puffy. She knows.
Cheers,
Puffy Lady
