These dang chicken police made me install a breathalizer interlock device on my phone.

You sound like my son. When I start seeing wild Facebook posts I call him and tell him you need to get off of Facebook or quit drinking

One of my chickens got killed on the road.

....and didn't get to the other side......

 

[Aronia]

It's not funny.

 

[Peep_Show]

Sorry for your loss.


(It's a sad lesson learned, but chickens and children should not be allowed to play in the street)

[Aronia]

Then there are certain things you should think about how to express them. I was still living at home when I had just met Karin maybe 2 months earlier. We left from our house in the car, and stopped when we saw my mother walking along the road. She asked where we were going, and I responded "To the women's clinic, Karin is getting a sonogram." The look on my mothers face was priceless. I've since learned that it's best to begin with "Karin has had some gastric issues, so we're going to the hospital."

Hubby and I had been married for about a dozen years before we - ah - stopped trying to not have kids. It was "gastric issues" that first clued us in to the fact that I was expecting (I experienced 24-hour "morning sickness" for the first 3 months or so, starting within days of conception).

When I told my mother that my stomach had been "out of sorts" for about a week, it didn't take her long to get to, "are you pregnant?" (Turned out I was). After that long, she'd begun to think she wasn't ever going to be a grandmother, so I thought I ought to break it to her gently . . . .
