Very Stereotypical of You.

One of the biggest stereotypes of the Army spouse, is that we all come from some backwoods podunk trailer park. One would think, none of us have an education beyond middle school and wear daisy dukes like they are high fashion. This is simply not true. FOR MOST OF US.
Unfortunately it only takes few to make a stereotype stick.
As I was in Wal-Mart today. (you don't have to be a trailer dweller to shop there!), I noticed the Creme de la Creme of Army wife stereotypes. She was sitting outside the Wal-Mart branch of McDonalds, crying. I noticed a young soldier, kneeling down in front of her. Whispering something, "heroic" in an attempt to calm her fears.
At first I thought, he was proposing and a small giggle came popping out. What says romance like a Wal-Mart McDonalds proposal?
As I got a little closer, (nosier) I realized he was saying, "its alright, its alright" This of course got my attn, until I noticed she was holding her belly. Immediately I noticed the fear on her face as I heard her pronounce, "she's not been moving". Any woman who's ever been pregnant has gone through this scare, the fear that something is wrong. So naturally I wanted to jump in to assist. But before I could the story takes an unusual turn.
The soldier still attempting to calm her fears, proclaims.."its ok, its too early to feel movement". This was apparently the wrong statement for him to make.
He barely gets the words out of his mouth, and its like the trailer door was swung open!Ellie Mae comes out swinging~~
The momentarily fearful momma to be, jumps up in her multicolored tank top and shorty shorts and yells. YA'LL JUST DON'T GET IT, I'MA FACING 25 TO LIFE!!!
Now, the fact that most people didn't even flinch at this statement, says a lot. I could never imagine a civilian world, where this statement would go unnoticed.

So you walk away, leaving that mess for the professionals. While wondering, what she had done to end up in this situation. Various scenarios went through my head. Possibly a botched liquor store robbery, a basement full of dead bodies?, maybe government espionage? (somehow I doubt this one)But whatever it was she better stock up on her Marlboro's now. I'd hate to be 9 months pregnant in a Federal "facility", without any smokes to call ma old man.
