4. I found it offensive
Is it that one where the guy in the supermarket is dealing w/ the crying kid? Someone at work emailed it to me. They thought it would be funny because I'm a single father, entirely because of the fact that I didn't wear a condom.

I didn't think it was very funny. Maybe I was ggenuinely offended, or maybe I was just having a pissy day, I dunno, but I was furious when I got it.

5. Is your kid in the middle of a tantrum phase?
That might explain it.

I thought it was funny because the kid in the commercial so obviously calls all the shots; and the poor dad has nobody to blame but himself.
It's amusing that they suggest this wouldn't be a problem if the guy had used condoms...certainly it shouldn't be taken seriously.

I'm sorry your coworkers were so insensitive. Both my kids were delightful mistakes. Whether they're angels or hellions, I wouldn't have it any other way. Would you? :)

6. Absolutely not!
We actually discovered the pregnancy when the mother went to the ER for an MRI for a preexisting medical condition. Before they'll do an MRI, though, they test for pregnancy.

"Well, that explains the headaches then, doesn't it?"

When we moved from the house where the conception had occurred, we discovered a case of rubbers underneath the bed.

"Oh, yeah," I said, "THAT'S where I put them! I just KNEW they were around here somewhere!" To be fair, I was assured that the female in the equation was taking precautions as well, though it takes two to fuck up -- and I do mean "fuck up" literally.

While it seemed a problem at the time, and I really should have waited until I was older, I've never been so thankful for a stupid mistake. The mother's not around so much anymore, but I wouldn't trade that kid in for all the tea in China. :D
