Excusez-moi?

Last week I was in Banana Republic with my Mom.

While my mom was in the dressing room I heard this convo:

Harried Costumer: I need shorts. Not too short but not too long. With like, a trouser look.

Salesgirl: (to harried costumer) Um, yeah. I don't think you'll be able to find anything like that here. You should try...Old Navy.

They briefly abandon the debacle of the not-too-short-not-too-long-trouser-short as a

mother- to- be fingers a set of brassy bracelets.

Harried Costumer: (to mother-to-be) When are you due?

Mother-to-be: Two months.

Salesgirl: No way!

Mother-to-be: (laughs casually, probably because she expected something other than what the salesgirl said next to come out of her mouth)

Salesgirl: You look like you're about to pop! I mean you're HUGE!

Awkward silence.

Harried Costumer: I already tried Old Navy they didn't have anything.

The two things I learned from this experience.

1) You can't find anything in Banana Republic if you ask a salesperson.

2) If you're pregnant you better avoid the place like the plague.
