Dumb, knocked-up blonde
Well, my “baby brain” aka a case of the stupids was in full effect today! I had sent my stories for my latest magazine off to my copy editor so she could look for typos and other errors. I got this email from her this afternoon:
Subject: What will a pregnant Jessica do next?
Well, you just made my day!
Here’s a sentence from your [redacted] story, and I will never let you forget this…………..
“He used to just shit on his chair and bed.”
I have laughed for 10 minutes.
I nearly fell out of my chair.
Thank you, pregnant Jessica for adding some fun to my day!!!!!!!
How funny/mortifying is that?? The worst thing is, the family already saw the story and approved it! Either they took pity on me, and spared me the embarrassment of not telling me or they just did not see it somehow. Gahhh.
Obviously, it should have read, “He used to just SIT on his chair and bed.”
(((smacks myself in the head)))

remember, we are laughing with you….and laughing at you behind your back!
love the typo. the family prob never saw it. besides, that’s what editors are for.
let me add - you are looking like a cute preggie. there are some folks who, well, would probably do better staying hidden while in the growing stages…
thanks for the updates and keep up the humor. it goes a long, long, way.
oh and if you are sorta freaked about pain - i won’t be the one to break down a contraction for you. drugs are your way to go - definitely and maybe a few even before you arrive at the hospital.
ok then, have a good day!
