Maia said after three years of being married to Johnny: “All everyone wants to know is when’s the baby due?
“A funny thing happens when you get married; people ask about the ring, the dress you wore — and when you’re going to start having babies.
“The first two are just social pleasantries, but the last one is such a personal question that it never ceases to amaze.
“One may as well be asked, ‘So, are you fertile?’, ‘Your husband isn’t firing blanks is he?’, or ‘How often are you having sex then?'”
