Who's your daddy?

When you meet someone and chat with them awhile you learn things about their life and what they have done in their life previously. At work I once had a lunch meeting and ended up sitting across from a guy whom I'd never really spoken with before or had the chance to get to know, due to us working in completely different departments. But over this particular lunch we learned a little about one another, our kids, spouses, previous jobs and so on.

As we all know I am pregnant and getting to be largely so. It comes up in conversation and leads into new conversations once in awhile. A few weeks ago a gal and I were talking at work and preterm labour came up and we were chatting about this one woman many years ago who had gone into preterm labour at work. I off the cuff said something along the lines off "well, if I go into labour at work you'd better call Soandso" (the luncheon guy) as it so happened my boss was standing right beside me and and looked down at me like I had gone completely mental and said "you want me to call WHO?! Like that guy who works upstairs?"

I only wish at that moment in time I could actually read minds because I made my comment knowing from our fore mentioned luncheon that Soandso used to be an EMT and has delivered a number of babies. I can however, only imagine why my boss thought I needed that guy there.

For the record Big Daddy is in fact the Daddy. No questions asked.
