Crawford said a friend of hers moved to France right before she became pregnant and that her friend was very pleasantly surprised to find what special treatment she often received in stores and out in public. "The first time she got reamed was for lining up for the fitting rooms at a Parisian department store," Crawford wrote. "An older woman demanded of her, 'Why are you waiting in the queue? You are pregnant! You go to the front! It is your right! It is the law!'... After that, Ramona was more than happy to comply. She wrote enthusiastically: 'THIS ROCKS. I have four months left of this card, and... I am using every last one. Move over... I got twelve items on a seven item limit and I got a giant dressing room'... Meanwhile, as a massively pregnant woman I found myself crying on a crowded New York City subway because no one offered me a seat."
