Warning: Hormones Ahead

Look. You've all heard it before a million and a half times, even if you haven't personally experienced it. But let me repeat it, like those little warning labels on hair dryers that say not to use said dryer while showering. Or sleeping.

Pregnant women are a mass of raging hormones.

Something that might have made us frown a little in "normal" times will now send us streaking to the bathroom with tears running down our faces and those little panicky gasps for control. Something that might have been even FUNNY back when we could fit into our size 10 skinny jeans will make us want to rip your head off. And we might just do it.

So if you push our buttons ANYWAY, I say you deserve the fallout, and the anvil on your head.

And also, if you are around as an innocent bystander when it happens, it's probably better to just let it be, not try to be too comforting. Cause if you're very nice to us while we are in this highly excitable state (like neon gas) you might, by being kind, make it worse.

(All related to an unfortunate mis-printed document for my father-in-law, and an old man who ought to know better. But I am over it now, except having to wait for him to come by and pick up the corrected document.)
