What's the Funniest Way to Tell Someone... (Israel)

[johnnys4life]

What's the funniest way to tell someone you're pregnant?

I was thinking about this because there is a chance I could need to know pretty soon. (Don't anybody tell my husband that, though! He is on here under the name "Israel")

I haven't taken a test yet, but I'm going to in a couple days. If it is positive, I want to tell my husband the same day, in the funniest, most creative way possible.

Like, for example, I read in a magazine once this woman put a t-shirt on her kid that said "big brother 2004". Well I could put a t-shirt on my daughter that says, "big sister 2005," but I don't know.

I'm running short on good ideas. Do you guys have any?

Lol that's a good one. I used to crave something way more disgusting than that when I was pregnant with my girl. He tells me I once ate sardines in hot sauce and yogurt in the same meal.

My wife told me by throwing up in the shower one morning. THAT was unique!

Of course you could serve "Rabbit Stew", though I never understood the "dead rabbit" reference to being pregnant.

The phrase, "The rabbit died," came to be a euphemism for a positive pregnancy test in the late 1920 and early 1930s. Around 1927 it was discovered that if you injected the urine of a pregnant woman into a rabbit, there would be corpora hemorrhagica in the ovaries of the rabbit. These bulging masses on the ovaries could not be seen with out killing the rabbit to inspect the ovaries, so invariably, every rabbit died, even if the woman wasn't pregnant.

I'm not sure he'd get that one...

It comes from the "ye olde" pregnancy test. Back before they had the kind where you go on a stick, women used to inject thier urine into a rabbit. Because a rabbit's metabolism is so fast, the rabbit would die from the hormone in it, if she was preg. If not, the rabbit lived. Rather barbaric, IMO. I'm grateful that I live in the days of more scientific methods.

Wo, Melody, we just wrote almost the same thing at the same time.

Heh heh. Any way you chose to say you were pregnant would be funny, Michel!


I actually moved to Ohio when I was first pregnant, and everything smelled and tasted so disgusting to me. I actually thought it was because Ohio just had terrible food, but after my hormones leveled off a bit, I realized that all along it was just me!
