How am I to know? (Excuse me a minute while I get my reading glasses; these days I can hardly read a thing without having to squint). The bottle of pills says on the label “Do not take this if you are pregnant”. How am I meant to know if I just got pregnant or not?
Doctors these days seem to proscribe medicine willy-nilly. This prescription is from the doctor attached to the Retirement Village. The pills are for my arthritis. The doctor doesn’t seem to care. He never asks if I’m trying to get pregnant or not. Goodness knows my husband and I have been trying for a few years; without much success I might add. But you never know. These pill things that I’m not meant to take if I’m pregnant could do their dirty work just at the very time I am at last going to have a baby.
The baby certainly won’t be named after the doctor by way of gratitude I can assure you. I would change my doctor here and now to someone more sympathetic, but every doctor’s visit costs money and I’ve just paid the earth to the regular Retirement Village doctor. I can ill afford to go see another.
I’ve been so inspired by that 66 year old Italian grandmother who had a baby. An inspiration! If she can do it, so can I. It keeps me going. But I hope these pills I’ve been given don’t stop any possibility. We try frequently, my husband and me, at the Retirement Village. We’ve been here for two years now.
No! No! We’re not residents at the Retirement Village. We work here. What on earth made you think otherwise?

If you’ve been at the retirement home for two years, then surely you must know that there are some pretty “feisty” retirement age folks and it’s an easy mistake to make.

I’m glad they try regularly on the job. Someone needs to be paid to have fun.

It’s a wonder they haven’t been sacked.

Lolz. There’s an episode in The Office where Jim and Pam realize that they are the only ones who have not engaged in said recreational activity at work, so they immediately conscript the closet which Ryan is using as an office.
