Her: ?Guess whose pregnant? My little sister Kimmy!?
What you thought: Are you kidding me? Didn?t she JUST get married a couple months ago? I bet they had sex, like, 1 time and she got pregnant. Must be nice to be so fertile. Isn?t she only, like, twenty years old? What the hell?! It?s really unfair. She just gets married and gets pregnant like it?s so damn easy. Must be nice. We couldn?t get pregnant even if a sperm was surgically implanted into an egg. She?ll probably have three kids by the time we get pregnant. I never liked her anyways. I bet she?ll have a cute little belly and won?t gain very much weight. I really don?t like her.
What you actually said: Wow. That?s nice news. Wish her congratulations for me.
(Insert awkward looking fake smile).
