Well, getting some news at 6.Am in the morning and on a day that i am late for work made the sweet taste of the breakfast i had just taken evaporate. She said she was pregnant, i panicked and chocked on a tea donuts, the look on her face prompted to switch from a choke into a forced loud excited laughter.

I still have no idea how the words "That's great! that's fantastic,wow" came out of my mouth during that mayhem as i reached towards her for a quick hug. After exchanging a few hugs and kisses and congratulations and all that, we sat down as i tried to look at her with puppy dog eyes and a fixed plastic smile. Sitting down was my undoing.My girlfriend started talking or is it narrating, and narrate and talk she did. She talked of when she thought she might have got pregnant, where we did it, she started convincing me of how amazing it was when we did it. I thought to myself, all this times we've been intimate and she has the nerves to say that that one time was the only time she felt good, is she crazy, how can she say something like that. its illegal to tell a man that he performs like an Olympic champion, that is, once in every four years. All this was going through my mind as she yapped away of how excited she was and how amazing it would be. In all that she spoke my mind only registered the word 'Baby' and 'Mother'.

She never even took a breath as she yapped and yapped, how do women accomplish speaking non-stop, i secretly looked at my watch and realize that i was doomed. I told myself,'woman if you make me get fired or get a warning for being late you going to take care of that baby all by yourself and I'm going to relocate to Alaska or some place in Sudan where you'll never find me.


So tell me Gentlemen, where were you and how was it when the dreaded three-letter word was spoken...???
