“So can you feel the baby yet?”
(shrugs) “I dunno.”
“Let me guess: you’re not sure if it’s pregnancy gas or the kid.”
“…Maybe.”
“Well what does it feel like?”
“Uh, kind of a fluttering thing…”
“And what? Your gas normally feels ‘fluttering’?! What the hell are you eating? Insects? Live birds? I’d wager it’s likely the kid.”
(pause)
“Shut up.”
“Goodnight, dear.”
