I think any childfree person can get a chuckle out of this. And parents too, if they have a sense of humor about pregnancy.

Well, the Onion is a sarcastic newspaper...all their articles are fake. So that's what makes it entertaining. I believe there is a touch of truth to them, even though they are fabricated.
Hormones can totally change the 'real' you....Just look at the transformation women go through - to varying degrees - whan we go through the mmenopause.....!

I remember one woman in my ward, when I was pregnant and in hospital for obs, (Good Christian gal, really devout and very religious) and the language she was coming out with would make a trawler navvy blush - !! apparently, in the middle of labour, she was less than complimentary to her husband.....

And the surgeon.....



and the midwives......


and anyone who happened to be in the line of fire, really - !! <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Hey, gang!

I think some of you missed it, but as stated earlier in this thread, the Onion is NOT a real newspaper. It's done for comedy and they make up all the stories.

Anyone who thinks they read a real story, please go back and look around the Onion a bit more for a reality check.

I miss living in San Francisco, where I could pick up copies of the Onion for free....

I used to listen to it on the radio here all the time when I worked outside the home. They're "stories" are hilarious, such as the one posted here. Although it's not a true story, it could have very well have been...LOL!
everyone has a different experience so sometimes its true and sometimes its not, anyhow this is a fake story and i've never heard of the onion untill now seems like it'd be cool to read some more of their stories
Yes- The Onion is a great source of fun and amusement... I used to be a subscriber :-) I believe you can read it online at www.theonion.com ENJOY!
[color:"green"]It may just be for humor, but I thought that was a very honest piece of lit. <img src="/images/graemlins/irish.gif" alt="" /> [/color]
Yes- their humor, or maybe it is best labeled satire, often does have a facet of honesty to it. Love the Hepburn quote by the way!
[color:"darkgreen"]Thank you. Hepburn sounds like she's a perfectionist, and she knows herself well, to combat pressure from either family or society to reproduce. Especially during the 40�s, 50�s and 60�s when pressure would have been at an all time high. Sadly, it still is even in the 2000�s. Her quote is something to live by in a child-centered world. There is nothing wrong with not feeling maternal. It's quite liberating actually. [/color] <img src="/images/graemlins/irish.gif" alt="" />
