I'm growing and I need more room so I've taken to expanding mum's stomach.
At this point no one at work knows I exist so mum's expanding waistline has been politely ignored. The English have pointedly not mentioned fat, food, etc. However, it is becoming noticeable that they are avoiding the topic.
Now people come in all shapes and sizes so many are frightened to say 'Are you pregnant?' just in case the person is fat. However, those that know mum have also avoided any topic related to fat, diet, food, etc.
I know what they are thinking - Who ate all the pies at Christmas lunch? Or should we say all the chocolates, cakes, puddings, etc.
But we are in on the secret. ;-)
