Contraception
Confessions, NaBloPoMo, Science, Whatnot Comments (4)
What if you were pregnant or got someone pregnant, what would you do?
If I were pregnant, I’d invite biomedical researchers from across the world to a conference, wherein I would stand on the stage, spread my arms wide, and scream, ‘OK, PEOPLE. HIGHEST BIDDER. WHO WANTS A PIECE OF THIS?’
If I had gotten someone pregnant, I would naturally do the right thing, which has nothing to do with a dark stairwell or anything sinister of the sort, my God, what kind of a monster do you think I am. This is actually kind of a stupid question, but I don’t suppose we can assume that everyone would do the ‘right’ thing. One person’s ‘right’ could be another person’s ‘dark stairwell’, after all. Anyhow, let’s just say that my version of ‘right’ has nothing to do with abortion or catastrophic injury or unfortunate accidents and leans more in the direction of marriage, car seats, and poop maintenance. Actually, let’s go ahead and stop thinking about this immediately.

My “right thing” would be reporting the woman to her pimp, as pregnancy was clearly not in the agreement we had made when the money was exchanged.
I love that you used the Science tag for this one.
Pregnancy, if not stair-welled, ultimately leads to college tuition. It is only now that I’ve begun to question whether this was the right thing afterall. *sigh*
Dave: I’d be inclined to keep the pimp out of it. The combination of their platform shoes and those bejeweled canes would hurt if they decided to take their anger out on me.
Angela: Yeah, it was a last-minute addition. It seemed appropriate.
Shari: If she ultimately decides to go to Scotland as I recall her mentioning once, you’ll be required to send the other two kids into the salt mines, while you and dad get second and third jobs at Taco Bell, Wal-Mart, The Gap, etc.. Tuition will require a major family effort, is what I’m saying.
