Take a Stand

 Dear Diary:

When I was pregnant, I rode the subway to work. The closer I got to the birth of my daughter, the bigger I got, but nobody ever offered me a seat.


Then one day, an older woman who must have been about 90 offered me hers.

I insisted that I could not take her seat, but she was adamant. Finally, she stood up, and I sat down.

She then turned to the young man sitting next to me.

“You get up,” she said. “I’m an old lady.”
