As most of you know, my strange illness has given me a belly that makes me look about seven months pregnant. After so many years I have been able to find the humour both in the queries and the responses I give to the queries. Sometimes I actually look forward to bizarre responses because they make such good stories. Belly-laugh Fridays is my chance to share these humorous tidbits with all of you. Enjoy.

“Are you pregnant?” 7 year old Jason asks, looking wonderingly at my belly.
“No honey. I look pregnant. But I’m not. I just have a big liver.”
Jason considers.
“Polar bears must really love you” he says with a big grin.
“Why is that?”
“Because polar bears really like to eat liver.” He pronounces, his grin overtaking his face.
I was in love.
“Well, I’ll watch out for those polar bears,” I promised, grinning right back at him.
