so pregnant and so gross

i have seen TWO pregnant women smoking in the past two days. immediately preceding my spotting of the two pregnant ladies was watching an old "Seinfeld' episode where george and elaine are visiting a psychic who happens to be pregnant and also happens to be sucking down a cigarette and elaine can't help but start reprimanding her for the pro-cleft palate behavior and they get kicked out and it's terrible. so i'm waiting at a light yesterday, look to my left, and there is a charming young lady, i'd say about four months into the gestation of the human parasite, pulling hard on a cigarette. hmmm, i know i shouldn't judge you but i definitely am. pick a different habit... just for a little bit. some sort of habit that doesn't result in deformation of a fetus. like bacci ball. or building pulley systems. so many options. and then today as i'm driving to the recyling center i pass another young lady, this time about eight months in, smoking. smoking a cigarette. eight months pregnant. i mean, you KNOW that's not good for this kid. and from what i see at the weekly Friday Night Live events, most of these developing blastocysts need all the help they can get. honestly. prego ladies smoking is a hilarious and quirky and dated phenomenon you see on "Mad Men" and laugh and laugh at how absurd it all it. because you know your kid with cleft palate isn't getting picked for the baseball team. unless he's a super rad catcher or something. and i think we all know that clefties are terrible at throwing from a squatting position. for reals.
