Positive Reinforcement

Wife: So, have I reached the point in this pregnancy where I start looking cute?

Donkey: No.

  2. Unfortunately most men are clueless. It seems the Donkey is in this category.

  3. i go for the doing things no pregnant woman should ever be doing technique - avoiding my desires to feel cute.

    for instance -
    play volleyball - maybe into the 6th month
    run 2 miles a day - even into your 8th month
    carry your 2 year old on your shoulders
    lift heavy things and don’t allow help
    have a henna tattoo drawn on my belly at 8 mths and show it off

    this way, whether people know I am pregnant or not - at least i know i am defying most people’s vision of pregnancy - and mostly cuteness.

  4. The problem is with the word “cute”. Cute is not a man-word. No man says anybody is cute and means it. Cute is my Mom’s word. To her everybody who hasn’t been mean to her is cute, or acts cute, or has a cute personality. She used to try to set me up in high school. “I know this cute girl….” Yes but what does she look like? “She’s cute.” No, you don’t understand, what does she look like? “She has a cute way about her” Mom, quit saying she’s cute, is she fat, does she have an acne problem, is her face even proportional? And on and on.

    Men use words like “hot” to describe women. Pregnasauruses are not “hot”, but I don’t think I’m revealing anything new here. However, before I am beaten down, I say that they can be (and usually are) beautiful.
