My wife's pregnant!

Awesome! Congratulations!

With a baby!

Oh. Too bad.

Just out of curiosity, what were you hoping for?

I don't have any adequate answers for you, but I would like to present you with this:

"I've been all over the world and have lived among every kind of culture and I can say, without any hesitation, that the most ignorant, rude, selfish, and self-centered people on earth are babies."

When I was pregnant, my boss kept insisting I was probably going to have a lizard. It was a personal joke which went to back to her pregnancy in the 80s when V was on, I guess. :)

Heh, I'm old enough to get that joke.

V! I had nightmares about that show.

I've had pregnant dreams, and in of the best of them, I gave birth to a litter of kittens.

Well, depends on what kind of baby, doesn't it?

[sen-no-ongaku.livejournal.com]

I suppose that if it's already grown up, that would be OK.

As the person who has to gestate and deliver said baby, I beg to differ.

[sen-no-ongaku.livejournal.com]

What about a miniature grown-up?

[osirusbrisbane.livejournal.com]

Yes, you should give birth to Hervé Villechaize.

[osirusbrisbane.livejournal.com]

er... sorry, I meant Hervé Beck, of course.

You realize, of course, that in the delivery room I will now be filled with the uncontrollable desire to shout "De plane, boss! De plane!"
