Shamelessly Playing the Pregnancy Card

CANDY:  I’d like the chicken fingers meal… off the children’s menu, please.

WAITER:  Can’t do that, ma’am.

CANDY:  Please?

WAITER:  We’ll have to charge you an extra four bucks –

CANDY:  (POINTING AT BELLY)  But it’s for her!  She’s under 12.

The waiter laughs uncomfortably, stumped.

WAITER:  Ha, ha.  Haven’t heard that one before…

CANDY:  (RUBBING BELLY)  So the chicken fingers.  For $4.99 then?

WAITER:  Um…

CANDY:  Great.  Thanks.

WAITER:  Very well, ma’am.
