What year are you due?

I arrived a few minutes early for an appointment, with a prospective client, this week and I started talking with a lady that was sitting there with me, while we waited for the other members of the board to arrive. This was part of our conversation:

Her: So I hear you are expecting a baby.

Me: Why...yes...yes I am.

Her: When is your baby due?

Me: September

Her: Of this year?

It is not common for me to really sit back and think about what I am going to say before I speak. For a split second I heard myself bellowing out, “No, I am due in 2012, the same gestation as a killer whale, 18 months.”

Me: Yes, this year :)
