Hi all, Need an example of perception? Courtesy of Awkward Family Photos. (NOT my story.) "When I was pregnant with my first child, my Grandma passed away. I didn't have anything to wear to the funeral, so I had to settle on a low-cut maternity blouse that made my breasts look enormous and made me very self-conscious. After the funeral, one of my aunts approached me and in front of the entire family, loudly announced: 'You are getting a fabulous chest!!!' I turned six shades of red and blurted out defensively, 'I can't help it. Since I've been pregnant, I've gone up a couple of cup sizes.' She was actually referring to a chest of drawers that I had unknowingly inherited....um...yeah...very awkward."
