“Mom I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately– if for some reason I end up knocked up and all alone will you be there for me?”

“Of course honey, unless I’m dead.”

“Funny you should mention that, you almost died Monday. When my alarm clock went off that morning I remember hearing on the news about a nasty car wreck in Millard county and a woman died. I realized I hadn’t heard from you on Sunday and thought maybe you were dead.”

“You did? You didn’t call.”

“I thought about it, but I went back to sleep instead.  When I got up later I figured someone would have called me if you were dead. BUT I did tell my friends the story later that afternoon if that counts for anything.”

“Sweetie, your Dad is in Alaska, who would have called you? You really should have called me to check.”

“MOM! You aren’t dead! Does it really matter now? I just want to know if you’re going to be supportive when I’m knocked up and all alone. You can’t be dead, who is going to raise my child?”

“Ummm, are you trying to tell me something, Sarah?”

“No Mother, I’m the furthest thing from knocked up. I’m currently in a dry spell.”

“Sarah as much as I’d love to discuss your sex life, I need to get back to work now. We can discuss this when I see you tomorrow afternoon at lunch.”

“You really want to discuss my hypothetical illegitimate child?!”

“Not a chance. See you tomorrow. Sarah, please don’t forget to show up.”
