Who am I to argue?

The commute also resulted in another incident. I won't lie - I used my belly. When I have an 'attack', my belly balloons up to look about three months pregnant. I can make it swell on a normal day, but those days - I just laugh and show it off and then let it shrink to normal size again. However, when I'm sick - the belly swells and that's how it stays. Apparently, I've even freaked out my boyfriend's sister thinking I got knocked up about 8 months after I met her brother because I had an attack. Well tonight, I had an attack. And on a note: it means considerable pain. So, there I was standing on the tube with my quite large belly and skinny arms looking a bit dishevelled. Well now, wouldn't you know it but a teenager offered me her seat! It was so sweet, and I know its because she thought I was preggers but I took it. I also noticed the sheepish look of the man across from me, looking me up and down and then not looking me at all because he knew he just got shown up by a teenage girl with punk pink hair. Apparently he didn't get all the messages on those new ads to give up seats to people who are pregnant. Or else he knew that my belly wasn't with a child, but I doubt it.
