Not really drama but my boss accidentally told me one of my coworkers is pregnant before she was going to tell me (it was because he was telling me about stuff I was going to have to take over while she's on maternity),
So now I feel like an overinflated balloon filled with wanting to congratulate her but not being able to because she hasn't told me yet and I just can't because I fokkin' love babies and not being able to get my excitement out over it just makes me antsy.
For a split second, I read that as if you called her an overinflated balloon. I was very relieved.
Honestly I haven't seen her in person so IDK how far along she actually is other than the general time frame of her due date
But I personally think of allegories like balloon or soccer ball as a fun way to describe the baby bump once it's fully baked bun time.
It's a baby, babies love to play, especially with rolly stuff and floaty stuff!
