It seems like in MN world there are all kinds of rules that I swear I’ve never seen expressed or followed in real life. What have you been most surprised by? I’ll start:



1. Adults don’t celebrate birthdays, and if you expect any recognition of yours, you’re being childish.



2. Halloween is exclusively an American import with no history in this country, and celebrating it is therefore tacky and meaningless.



3. Trick or treating is glorified begging.



4. Absolutely nobody other than you or your DP is remotely interested in your pregnancy, and even telling another person that you’re pregnant is akin to riding a donkey down the high street while calling for palm fronds to be laid at your feet in recognition of the impending miracle of your unborn child.
