Just Like…

July 10, 2008:

Ben: "So, whatever happened to your period?"

Me: "I don't get a period when I'm pregnant."

Ben: "Are you pregnant?"

Me: "Yes, dear."

Ben: "Wait. Are you pregnant?"

Me: "Yes, dear."

Ben: "Hold on. Are you pregnant?"

Me: "Yes, dear."

Ben: "It's going to be a boy."

Me: "Yes, dear."

Ben: "Just like your parents."

Me: "Yes, dear."

Ben: "Do I have a fit now?" (apparently, Dad teased Mom by throwing a fit)

  • "Dad teased Mom by throwing a fit"

    Yes I did, Sweetums, but I'm too good an actor. For years, Mom believed I had really thrown a tantrum after politely saying, "Excuse me, I'm going to go throw a tantrum now." Actually, it was quite a stress reliever.

    That was in March, 1979 (you were 7 months old and zooming around using two footed strokes in your walker and stealing towels for the fun of the chase). I had gotten my vasectomy in February. Ben's not entitled to a fit unless he had already cut off the supply line before the announcement.

    Maybe next year.

    Love,
    Poppa
