When life just seems absurd
Finding myself in line at the OB/GYN behind three other women…all pregnant, all being handed a little sticker with their info which will later be placed on their very own cup full of ur*ine.
It’s just too hilarious. What was curious to me is that no one was laughing about it.
We were like robots.
“Name?”
“ Eve.”
“Doctor?”
“Dr. Soandso.”
“Time of appointment?”
“ 3:30…”
“Here’s your sticker. The bathroom is down on your left. ”
“uh, thanks?”
I’ve never seen an office so bumpin’. I’m telling you, it is the age of babies. Women are having them. (Well obviously the men aren’t.) But I’m seeing all kinds of women coming through those doors with bumps on their fronts. It’s quite comforting. And funny. Maybe I’m just weird.
But “here’s your sticker now go pe*e in a cup” is a strange way to be greeted on a Friday afternoon.
Good Enough
Honestly - I’m kinda glad that it’s you and not me
Cheers
I have to agree with Melissa!
Too funny though. Thanks for the giggle! Hope all is well with you.
Ahh good times!
When I was a girl my pregnant mom came home one day laughing her head off because she had tripped at the dr’s office and spilled the contents of her cup all over the nurse. Which, now that I’ve p’ed in many a cup (and on many sticks), I can totally see happening.
You will always see more pregnant women when you yourself are pregnant. I never see them when I am not. It’s a brain thing.
