I AM GUILTY!!!! GUILTY, I TELL YOU!!!!!
I asked a woman when she was due, and she wasn't preggers.
I felt AWFUL, and I'm sure she did, too.
I never ask now, even my co-workers. Either they tell me, or I don't know, because I ain't askin' unless the woman looks 12 months pregnant or the baby is on the way out.
(I've been called "sir" or "son" or "boy" on a regular basis for the last 30 years. Such is life. So I really do try to be careful when I speak to others.)
