Isn't this exactly the conversation you want to have with a co-worker who you've known for two months?
Sarah: Will you do me a favor, and let me know if childbirth feels the way they said?
Me: The way who said?
Sarah: You know...I was told that childbirth feels like somebody reached inside your crotch and ripped out all your insides. I've always wondered if that's what childbirth actually feels like.
Me: [expressionless] I will be sure to let you know.
Sarah: Good. Because I really want to know.
Are you laughing? You better not be laughing. I'm not. I'm grinding the enamel off the back of my teeth.
First: I have never heard childbirth described that way!! She needs to site her sources.
ReplyDeleteAnd B: I may not be a good source for this information, given that I've only delivered a 1lb baby, but it does not feel like that...so no worries!
Also, I'm laughing...quite hysterically!
My response? "Hey, so what's it like to not have brain cells? I heard it's like being baked 24/7. Good stuff?"
