Out Of Line, Crossing The Line, Now It’s Online!

I’m about nine weeks pregnant. My husband and I are doing some last-minute shopping just before Christmas. As the shop is packed, my husband decides to go through the preferential line for older people, pregnant women, and those with disabilities. To be fair, I have had horrendous morning sickness.

Just before we get in line, we realise we have forgotten something, and I go to find it. It’s normally in the baked goods section, but when I get there, they only have ones with cream cheese (which I can’t eat due to lactose intolerance). The lady at the counter tells me there are some at the bakery, so I get into line there. Which doesn’t move. After about five minutes I go to find my husband.

He has already gone through the line, and he gives me a funny look. Apparently, everyone in the line gave him the side-eye as he was clearly not supposed to be there. I tell him that next time, I’ll wait in line and he can get the missing items, or he can just say to the nosy people that his pregnant wife is being sick in the car.
