Right after I found out I was pregnant with my oldest daughter I must have been thinking I was Mother Nature personified or something because I remember on the platform in Princeton waiting for the morning train into NY and there was this poor woman seated near me enjoying her morning cigarette. I fixed her with my holier-than-thou laser gaze and totally laid into her about how she was polluting the air around her with secondhand smoke and who knew how many pregnant ladies she'd affected with her selfishness, etc. Poor thing; I really scared her because the rest of the time I rode the train she always stayed as far away from me as possible!
The irony of the fact that I was working for Philip Morris totally escaped me at the time.
