What could Tom Thumb have against pregnant women?

I promise to get off the Tom Thumb blog-wagon, although I wish they would reply to my post just below. (Hasn't happened yet.)

My wife, daughter and I went to our favorite store tonight for our weekly shopping visit, and we wound up dropping about $125. That's about our usual weekly contribution to the fortunes of the Safeway global food empire (which runs our favorite little store). Tonight, the first thing we saw was that the up-close parking lot spaces previously reserved for pregnant women and moms with newborns have been removed. You know, those little pink signs with the stork on them? Gone.

Why would they would do this? I guess their answer is that they want to open up more spots for lazy-but-definitely-not-pregnant people like me. How nice. Or perhaps they're doing some even more sinister. Perhaps they're quietly removing all the parking spaces -- one by one -- just to see if we'll notice that too. Hmmm.

On to more important topics. I promise no grocery store posts for another week or two, but if we wake up one day and find there's no more parking for anyone at Tom Thumb, well, I'm going to have to write about it!!!!
