Not wearing a wedding ring and having food cravings? Must be an unwed teen mom!

This morning I got up and walked to a Dennys near my home, and went with the intention of getting pancakes. They were about all I could think about, but on the walk there that changed and I found myself ready to kill for biscuits and gravy with mozzarella sticks. So I get there and order, and notice that a group of four older women in the booth across from me are looking at me really strangely as I did. I waved hello and then waited for my food. Once it came I started eating, and like the past few days it's take a few bites, sit and fight the need to throw up, then eat some more. After a few minutes of this one of the women got up and approached me.

"That's quite a selection you have there, are you pregnant?" I said that I was and I can't believe this but she responded with "Was it unplanned? I noticed you weren't wearing a wedding ring and we're afraid that you might make the wrong choices for your baby. We wanted to offer you some guidance and young unwed mothers like you have a tendency to make poor choices." I'm sitting there dumbfounded and finally responded "I'm married and in my 20s." she responded "Lying is a sin just as bad as lust. You need to work on your connection with God young lady. You can't possibly be out of your teens. I'd like to sit and pray with you." I said nothing, flagged down my waitress and asked to move.

How is that ok? These people make me sick(er)! On the way out I saw them all get into a car with Scott and Rubio stickers on them. I'm really, really pissed. These people think it's ok to harass random women based on their food choices to make sure they're either not pregnant or pregnant only according to their standards! I wish I had thrown up on her. :eyes:

Edit for grammar, sorry!
