A male business acquaintance tried to make conversation with a formerly svelte female colleague, asking "When is the baby due?" The poor guy took years of grief from the women executives for not perceiving that she had given birth two months earlier.
Today at the doctor's office one young woman who had worked there for years was clearly showing, but I refrained from even a friendly comment.
I have learned the lesson of my friend: friendliness yields little reward, and the punishment for making a mistake is merciless!
