Q & A with child

Being pregnant is not unlike being engaged. It garners you a lot of attention and a lot of questions. I'm a middle child, so the additional limelight is welcome! Though in pregnancy, one does get asked a handful of questions over and over again (When are you due? Do you know if it's a boy or a girl? Have you picked out a name yet?). Not that there's anything wrong with that; there are only so many topics that arise naturally. But just to spice things up, I thought of a new set of questions for the expectant moms out there.

• So...when did you conceive?

• If your baby is born a hermaphrodite, how will you decide its sex?

• Do you want the baby to get your husband's bone structure since you're a little on the husky side?

• Is whoever's taping the birth going to be positioned at your head or your feet?

• Is there a theme to these nursery decorations, or did you just pick whatever was left on the shelves?

• Any hemorrhoids yet?

• Did the doctor miscalculate your due date, or are all women as big as you at this stage?

• Am I invited to the shower?

Is the answer to all of those questions "I'm carrying my brother's triplets?" Cause it should be.
