The Thought Was Inconceivable

(My partner and I have been trying to conceive and I have just taken a pregnancy test which turned out positive. He is apparently stunned by the news.)

Me: “I don’t know why you’re so surprised. It’s not like we haven’t been trying….”

Partner: “Yes, but it’s a bit different trying for it and it actually happening. You may have set up the lightening rod, but you didn’t really expect something to sit up on the slab!”

Me: “…Can I put this on Not Always Romantic?”
