2nd quotation from my mother, to my best friend, over the phone: "I know your husband is in Iraq right now, so I think that to keep from being lonely, you should have a baby!"
Um, did she say anything about how to explain this to the doubtless surprised husband when he got back?
Quotation from my mother: "You're going to be pushing a PhD around in a stroller instead of a baby!" I was 23.
Nice. I've heard from both my mother and my father's mother that neither of them expected they'd ever get married, for one reason or another. Of course, my grandmother married at 18 or 19, and my mother at 22.
My mother is also pictured under "Normally Quite Intelligent, But With Stunning Leaps of Unreason."
Or the store brand is using a different filler than Benedryl is.
That would be the main possible difference, which could affect the speed at which the active ingredient is absorbed.
My mother just told me she didn't care about being a grandma, but she'd "be thrilled when it happens"
But she did look sad at the thought of "It's The End of The World..." being my processional.
I still think that's what it'll take.
there's no slaughter rule in soccer?
What's a slaughter rule, and which sports have them?
My mother would be a little mollified if I had a PhD. It's something, but not enough. Certainly not mutually exclusive with the babby thing.
I can't link to it directly (stupid Javascript link) but if you go to MSNBC [link] and look a screen or two down, on the left at "Week in Video" they have a clip of that Norweigan penguin that just got promoted. The penguin inspects some troops - cute.
(Penguin footage is the last thing on the clip, which is about 2 minutes long.)
Of course, now I have a baby, but not a PhD, which just goes to show, um, I hope nothing.
My parents never bothered me about grandkids. His? Err, yeah.
My MiL started an IM conversation with me while I was at work to mention that if we had any problems, it might have been similar to my FiL's "issues". Talk about a conversation I was never meant to have. EVER. Poking my eyes out at work wasn't an option.

Something's fishy about that product.
