STORE SIGN CAUSES PREGNANT PAUSE

I parked in a midtown strip shopping mall the other day in front of a store next to my destination. I did a double take over a seeming contradiction between a store sign and the display in the front window.

It was a bridal shop, and there was a lovely wedding gown and veil on the mannequin.

The problem was, the sign painted on the glass to the side read:

MATERNITY APPAREL

Talk about a specialty store!?! Nahh. They just happen to have both kinds of apparel, for brides and mothers-to-be. Or maybe both at the same time. You know that old kiddie song: “Here comes the bride . . . all fat and wide. . . .”
