Yesterday was the first time anyone has questioned my habits since I became pregnant. So having eight months to prepare.. I was still not ready.
A horrified female coworker saw me pop open a can of diet Dr. Pepper and asked, “OhmyGOD, you drink caffeine? While you’re pregnant?!”
I went pale with guilt, and started waving my hands wildly, as if I could persuade her that I was still a fit mother. “NO, not regularly. Of course not. Only in a pinch.”
Then I realized that she has never had children.
“I mean, I left my crack in the car this morning. I need SOMETHING to get me through the day.”

Hahahahha! You told her! Way to be quick on your (swollen) feet!
wait…you mean our baby didn’t have his crack intake yesterday!!!
BTW, I made those reservations for us at the Thai hotel. I love those “working vacations,” don’t you?
I never leave feeling refreshed.. but man, do I leave richer!!
Jeez, what a nation of bedwetters we’ve become. I’m all for thinking of The Children and all, but c’mon….. Children are not nearly as delicate as we seem to think.
My childhood activities often involved guns, bladed weapons, fireworks, and gasoline…… often simultaneously. It’d get a parent locked up nowadays.
