Three weeks along

Or, Why My Sister Finds Our Phone Conversations Difficult:

“…And already there are teeny little organs developing!”

“See, this is why I hope I never need an abortion.  I mean, woman’s right to choose and everything, but, seriously, wee organs?  I can’t abort that.  Good ol’ IUD.  I should buy it a present.”

“It’s apparently the size of a sesame seed.  How cute is that?”

“So cute!   Also, now all I can picture is Mom daintily licking her finger tip and picking it up from her plate after she finishes a bagel.”

(pause)

“That’s…horrifying.”

One thought on “Three weeks along

  1. Yes, I lick my fried egg plates, enjoy smoked turkey bones like nobody’s business, and delicately pick up every sesame seed from my plate. But eat my own grandchild…?
