Foul
by Kris Bluth
She was saying,
"Oh my gosh, I totally hate you!"
And I was like,
"Why?"
And she said,
"Because you're eight months pregnant
and you're so skinny!
You look like you just have
a basketball under your shirt!
When I was pregnant with my son,
I was huge!
He only weighed seven pounds
and I was still huge!"
But she wasn't serious.
It wasn't like
she really hated me.
