Elvis has not yet left the building!
Blogarella is told on a daily basis that she is lovely and absolutely glowing. What these people don’t see is that the offspring is exhibiting rock star-esque behavior. She might not have a hotel room to trash, but my internal organs and my rib cage will make a worthy substitute. A kick here, a punch there, and who knows, maybe something might get broken. I can’t bill her for the damage, but I can reserve it for punishments later in life. If she wants an allowance, I’ll simply send her a bill for the 9 months that I carried her.
However, thats not to say that mommy hasn’t had some rock star behavior of her own. Recently when a flight was excessively delayed, I said aloud “If this plane doesn’t come soon, I’m gonna have a baby!” Apparently there were several mortified looking onlookers and Mr. Blogarella asked me to refrain from making such statements again. But, I think the worst was when I had to call Mr. Blogarella after receiving an incorrect bill in the mail and I told him “I’m so pissed off I’m having contractions!” He’s smart enough to tell me to “breathe” when I’d rather “punch” but all and all, I think if he can survive my pregnancy, then he becomes eligible for the Husband of the Year Award.

Hmmm. Your story makes me wonder if the root cause of my constant state of annoyance was pregnancy…
