That Time of the Year

As the year draws to a close, something strange happens. Your workload seems to suddenly grow to Everest-size proportions, no-one is available for meetings although everyone wants meetings and people run around frantically buying Christmas pressies. Unfortunately this accounts for my silence in the past few weeks as well, just minus the Christmas shopping. Even so, when I came across this gem, I just had to take the time to share it:

An unidentified mom was pretty concerned about some unusual symptoms that her teenage daughter had been displaying, so she brought her on down to the doctor for a checkup. As Boredom Therapy shares, both mother and daughter weren’t too pleased with his diagnosis, but the doctor was able to quickly put them both in check.

After the initial pleasantries, the mother explains what’s been going on with her daughter.

“She keeps getting these cravings, she’s putting on weight and is sick most mornings,” the mom says.

The doctor has a look, and he reaches a conclusion that the girl is about four months pregnant. Flabbergasted, the mother simply can’t wrap her head around what the doctor has told her.

“Pregnant?! She can’t be, she has never ever been left alone with a man!” mom says.

The daughter concurs and assures her mother that she’s never even kissed a man, so the doctor heads on over to look out the window. After a few awkward moments pass, the mom asks the doctor if there’s something wrong.

“No, not really, it’s just that the last time anything like this happened, a star appeared in the east and three wise men came over the hill. I’ll be darned if I’m going to miss it this time!” he said.
