Signs of a good friend

I am such a big fan of the consignment store in the neighborhood. As I am seeing the nieces today, I thought that I'd pop in on Monday just to see if there were any $1 tees or something equally riveting. Although the clearance rack didn't have anything that worked for me, I saw that they had maternity clothes. One of my good friends is pregnant so I thought I'd check it out. I picked up a couple shirts for her. As she's close to the same size as me in non-pregnancy clothes, I held them up to myself to see if they'd work.

So as I'm purchasing these couple shirts, I notice someone that I know from church. Hmmm... would she notice that a singleton is purchasing maternity clothes? So, I say in an almost stage voice to the other employee helping me, "You know that you're a good friend when you purchase maternity clothes for your friend." Eeks... that could have been slightly mortifying!

You ARE a good friend,...and i think she is going to like them!
Was with your sister a few wks. ago when she was in an Outlet Maternity store purchasing clothes for her pregnant friend. We had a blast! Must be something about being a support but not actually having to go through the pregnancy.

Yeah, that is how really bad rumours get started.
Have fun with the niecies!

Looking at some of the shirts for the younger set, I see a lot of what looks like maternity clothes to me. So no explaination is required! Maybe even save a T for you!
