\t\t\t\t\"\"<\/a>\nA young couple in Stapleton who chose to not be identified, has become significantly more popular since purchasing a prosthetic baby bump one month ago. \u201cWe never had anything to talk about with our neighbors, but now that people think we are pregnant, we suddenly have people asking us all sorts of questions,\u201d says anonymous wife. \u201cWe love our neighbors, but they never had much to say to us in regards to what is going on in our world. They would talk about their own kids but we never had much to add to the conversation, so we were often shut out of it.\u201d\nThe couple has found themselves being invited to more backyard gatherings. \u201cWe really feel like we are part of the block now,\u201d says anonymous husband. \u201cPeople are already asking us about names, child care, schools, etc. More than anything, we are learning a lot if we decide if and when we want to have kids.\u201d\n\nAt some point the couple knows they will have to come clean. \u201cWe don\u2019t have an end date of when we will come out,\u201d says the wife. \u201cHeck, we have even thought about trying to actually get pregnant. There is a chance we will just move to a different Stapleton borough and start the whole thing over again.\u201d\nProsthetic baby bumps have been around forever, but more recently became famous when Beyonce was accused of using one. \u201cWe were drinking in bed late one night and saw some gossipy show on it,\u201d says husband. \u201cThen we thought, you know what, maybe we should try that.\u201d\nThe couple does not regret their decision even if it does end up costing them their new friends when the truth comes out. \u201cEven if for just nine months we could feel like we fit in with our neighbors and had friends, it was worth it,\u201d says wife.]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
