Ever since I am pregnant, everybody goes to a lot of trouble just to offer me "goodies" when I visit. I suppose it's the way people are happy to please a pregnant woman. Since we (pregnant ladies in general and yours truly in particular) are known to be moody and to have big appetites, the host is always pleased to stuff me as if I am a turkey. But I don't appreciate these "goodies" most of the time.
I just want to settle one thing: in my country the meaning of "goodies". It refers mostly to sweets. Sugary sweets sometimes baked, but other times boiled in hot oil. So this concept is about sugar, flour and oil. I think this is one of the worst food mix possible. I refuse mostly, but from time to time, in order to protect their feelings, I must accept... And I eat this kind of "goodies". Should I just say "No, thank you"? I think so, but I don't want to offend every woman who asks me to visit.
I will think about maybe finding a better way to say "no". A smarter way!
