Kid around all you want, but never poke a pregnant woman in the stomach. They can be vicious, even when you're playing around with them. They'll then claim the baby made them fight back and tearfully apologize as you're laying stunned on the ground in fetal position questioning whether or not any of your equipment will function again.
That didn't exactly happen, but it's close enough you'll get the point.
My wife is discovering that our culture expects to rub any pregnant woman's belly as a sign of good luck- it's funny so long as it's not happening to me. I can see her point- a total stranger (women mostly) want to come up and touch you on your baby sack and smile. I keep reminding her that they're paying her a compliment but it can get strained- even when her mother and sister do it. My family fortunately didn't do so so much... but then she came to volleyball and our friend Jeff rubbed the volleyball on her belly for 'baby luck'. Didn't help- he served it in to the back of my head (then again, remember what I said about the baby striking back???)
