Say What?
Brander and I had been married for 5 years. In our perspective that was way too short to have children yet, though it didn't seem to match what we were witnessing around us. That sets the backdrop for the next part of the story.
One evening I was at a church dinner, sitting beside a 20 year old university "girl" who seemed comfortable being conversationally intimate with me. Perhaps I should rephrase that. She seemed to be comfortably nosy. We've all experienced that (and done that, in my case). She didn't know me well enough to realize that in that kind of situation I will take any opportunity to mess with someone's head.
She was smiling at a young mom who had been married for under two years. The newborn baby was so cute in his little suit and mom was beaming. The girl looked at me and asked me why we didn't have any children yet. With a poker face I informed her that I was still a virgin. Her face fell in embarrassment and uncomfortable silence as I waited a moment bofore laughing hysterically at her self-induced demise.
You gotta' watch what you're saying'
