110/365 Another Mary

I was the newbie editor at my first staff meeting, trying to identify this cast of characters and look less clueless than I actually was. The graphic designer, whose personality could fill a room, turned to me and announced, “I’m not fat. I’m pregnant.”

Were you able to come up with a rejoinder to that statement, or did your mouth simply fly open?

I believe the latter. I hadn't been around long enough to think about her figure one way or the other, so I can't imagine what I said. She was fabulous to have around, though.

Did you ever meet the spawn of this supposedly pregnant woman? Did the child bear any resemblance to (for instance) Ernest Borgnine?

I did meet the adorable spawn when he was very young, and yeah, maybe a little Ernest Borgnine. Aren't babies beautiful? And Deloney, did you know that No Kidding is holding its annual meeting in Toronto next month?

No, I did not. What is No Kidding?

(breathlessly waiting for a possible punchline)

Is it a meeting of the "DINK"s and "SINK"s??

For those like me that needed the acronyms spelled out -
DINK = Dual Income No Kids
SINK = Single Income No Kids

It's a social organization of folks who don't have kids.

You have to get to the bottom of the page to link to Toronto stuff.

(Sorry, not much of a punchline.)

I tried to join No Kidding but then they found out I had three lil' darlings and kicked me out.
No Kidding. Darn Rules.
