Ona Jest Brzemienna*
One of my colleagues, a lovely Polish lady, is about to go on maternity leave after today. It's her second child, and the second time she's gone on leave here. She is HUGE now, noticeably larger than Baby #1, and she's feeling it.
Me: Oh, hey! This is your last day, isn't it?
Her: Yes, I leave tomorrow.
Me: Well, you look tired.
Her: Yes, walking around is so tiring, especially if I've been sitting down.
Me: You just forget about your legs?
Her: Pretty much.
Me: Well, you'll soon be carrying that around [nods to her belly], only, y'know, in your arms. Same weight, but --
Her: Different place, yes. It's too bad we don't get pregnant on our backs.
Me: Hur hur hur!
Her: You KNOW what I mean!
Me: Oh, yeah. *Snicker!* "Hey, Sally, are you developing a hunch?"
Her: "No, it's a boy!" Heh heh! It would be so much more convenient to carry them on our back.
Me: Or if your womb was shaped like a papoose.

Sigh, the archives suck for searching. On the other hand, I get to read some of my old stuff. Mix of embarrassment and levity. This was actually pretty fucking funny.
