Scene: In the elevator taking Dog Guac out for his morning constitutional. Dramatis personae: Me, elevator operator, Dog Guac.
Elevator stops and a couple get on. I know the wife, as we tangled on the lobby committee last year. She has been snooty to me. I decide to take the high road.
Me: Hi! So did y'all have a nice summer?
Snoot Wife, brightly: Hi! Oh yes, thank you! How about you?
Me, polite laughter, gesturing to round self under large college sweatshirt: Well, you can see what we were up to, ha ha.
SW: Oh yes! You must have had a fun summer.
Snoot Husband: Or a very fun spring!
thud
SH: You know, cause.... I mean....
Me: shocked, deadly silence
SH, clapping elevator operator on the back: All right, thanks Victor.
End scene.
What I wish I'd said: You know, I've been a woman my whole life, so I'm used to men I don't really know making jokes about my sexuality. But I'm here to tell you, there's nothing fun about IVF, and it was actually a pretty tough spring. Have a nice day!
In other news, 35 weeks today. Two weeks to induction. Almost there.
