PREGGERS

OK, here are some common sense rules that every single person should already know. However, according to our Ticked Off column, some people are clueless.

1-If a woman is pregnant and she is not your wife, DO NOT touch her belly!

2-If it's not your baby, don't touch the kid!

3-Don't tell a new mom or dad that the kid looks nothing like them, it's just not nice

4-And no matter what, I don't care about the circumstances, DO NOT, EVER, put your finger in a child's mouth if the kid isn't yours and you are just the waitress! (You're thinking, that's an odd rule Jay, that's because some stupid waitress did that to my son Caleb! She put her finger in his mouth at breakfast and when I looked up, she said "somebody's teething." Guess how long she was employed after that?
