Stretch

My heavily pregnant friend told me her stomach is starting to have stretch marks. I scoffed at her, saying of course one would have stretch marks at that stage of her pregnancy. I have had stretch marks on my bum since... since I was 12, for cryin' out loud!

She went on to say it was really painful and then I realised she must be saying her skin is starting to stretch because of the pregnancy, not just mere stretch marks appearing. I then envisioned my pizza dough as I was kneading it and it had stretched to a point that the gluten was clearly seen as a web-like texture. Some had snapped, revealing the layer of dough under it.

Oh boy. Do I really need to get pregnant?
