Enough To Give Pregnant Pause, Part 7

(I am just getting to know my boyfriend. We are in his room playing the Sims (a game where you create simulated people in simulated lives where they go to school, get jobs, fall in love, etc.) My boyfriend has made sims of himself and me and has been playing them for a while. His mother comes upstairs and peeks in the room to check on us.)

Boyfriend’s Mother: “So, how is everyone?”

(My boyfriend turns to her and announces:)

Boyfriend: “She’s pregnant!”

(After a second of utter mortification I hastily assured his mother that he meant in the game, and in the game only!)
