Pregnant PAPA'S

April 29, 2008

The Exterminator's queasy stomach

You never know who you're going to talk to in the course of a day.

And you never know until you're signing their service paperwork, that they too have a pregnant wife...

Even more baby attraction?

So Thomas and I start talking babies.  His wife's expecting their fourth.  (And he's my age! Guess, I have some catching up to do!)

Anyway, Thomas is saying how every thing's going really well.  She's healthy, the baby's healthy, he's really, really excited...except his wife keeps asking him to feel her belly, and he doesn't want to feel it.

"Why not?"

"Ah...it's just...it's all squishy and then hard.  I just can't do it...  It's gross."

"So what does your wife say?"

He laughs.  "She thinks it's ridiculous.  She's like: 'Honey, you're an exterminator...  Now touch my belly!'"
