Pregnant Ladies = Free Ice Cream

Being pregnant, I've come to learn that lots of people are much nicer to you than usual. More random people smile at you. Ask about your due date. Hold open a door for you. You also get perks. Normal perk: someone gives up a seat on the subway for you and your bulging belly. A little more strange and rare: Closer parking at the Rite-Aid and Babies 'R Us. Now, this comes along, which to me seems the strangest. On Wednesday, May 21st, Baskin-Robbins will be giving a free soft serve ice cream cone to any expectant mothers. Yep. They're helping us expand our bellies even more with delicious ice cream to promote that the company is starting to offer soft serve. I'm not sure a) how they'll verify some women's claims that they're pregnant, particularly if she isn't quite showing yet, b) what being pregnant has to do with soft serve, and c) what would keep a - how would you say, um...woman with a non pregnant related large belly from going to claim a cone. Whatever. I don't care. I've got the baby, I'm getting the cone!
