E is for Elephant

Saturday I decided to run by Macy's to see if they have nursing bras that were reasonably priced. They say you should buy these around 6 weeks from your due date. Luckily someone expirienced was working in the maternity department that day. She was an overweight older Italian woman, with no sense of humor, who looked like she'd had about 10 kids.

Anyway -- she looked me over and said, "You wear a 38D?"

Me: "Ya...sometimes 40D"

Her: "Ok here"

Me: "Don't I need a bigger size for when my milk comes in?"

Her: "Ya, you need a 38E"

Me: "I'm sorry." pause "A what?"

Her: "E!"

Me: "Reeeeeeeaaaaaaallllly...an E...like E is for Elephant?"

Her: "Yes, go try it on."

Well, as it turns out the E fits me NOW. So I waddle back to the nice woman and ask her what does one do when they currently fit in the E.

Her: "You need an F"

Me: "An F!"

Her: "Yes, and you'll have to special order because they don't make 38 F -- only 38E"

*Big pause*

Me: "This kid better like milk!"

Her: *SILENCE*

Aparently large bra sizes are no laughing matter in the Macy's Maternity department.
