well, I think it's funny...

Recently I had to make a return. 2 girls in their 20's were ahead of me, with 2 enormous, overflowing shopping bags of returns. They began pulling out baby clothes, outfit after little outfit, butt loads of baby clothes, so I figured they were stylists.

The more stuff they pulled out, the slower the return-clerk moved, as if baby clothes are return-clerk Kryptonite. I had to catch a bus back to Boston for a show, and only left 1 hour to get this done, so I started to get a little anxious. Then I started to get a little ragey thinking "What kinda goddamn job is buying things and returning them, get real job, like a comedian!" which was followed by laughter, and then the absurd thought "Uh oh. Maybe they're not stylists. Maybe they just had an abortion."

I nearly choked laughing and decided I should most certainly share the hilarity with someone. The lady behind me looked like she was gonna punch me in the face, just for being there, so I called my hubby. I told him the story:

me: Isn't that hilarious?
him: No.
me: No? Why, "abortion" isn't funny?
him: No.
me: Is "adoption" funnier?
him: No.
me: Well everyone knows "miscarriage" isn't funny.
him: None of it is funny, Bethany. None of it.
