Muffin Drama: Paranoid Pregnant Mom vs. Huffy Coworker

Our mom-to-be is five months pregnant and enjoying a relatively easy pregnancy. ✨ However, she’s developed a peculiar paranoia about poppy seeds, fearing they might cause a positive drug test result and lead to her baby being taken away. Despite knowing it’s irrational, she’s decided to avoid poppy seed-containing foods for the duration of her pregnancy. One day, a coworker brings in some mouth-watering lemon poppy muffins to work. Our protagonist politely declines, but the coworker keeps pressing her to have one. Finally, she confesses her poppy seed paranoia in a light-hearted manner, but the coworker gets huffy and upset. The next day, she’s greeted with a scowl at work. Was our paranoid pregnant mom too ridiculous in her refusal, or is her coworker just being too sensitive? Let’s see what the internet thinks of this situation…
