What A Cry-Baby

(My manager asks me to work extra as a coworker is unable to come in.)

Me: “Oh, is she okay?”

Manager: “She’s upset, almost hysterical.”

Me: “What? Why?”

Manager: “She got her period.”

Me: “Huh?”

Manager: “You know how she’s trying for a baby?”

Me: “Yes, but they only decided two weeks ago, didn’t they?”

Manager: “Yes, well, her first son was conceived first try. Now she’s upset she might be sterile.”

Me: “Doesn’t always work that way.”

Manager: “Yep, but she refuses to listen.”

(We had to put up with her crying for two months more before she ‘finally’ fell pregnant.)
