Funniest response to your PG
What's the craziest/funniest thing someone has said to you/your DW when you announced your expecting?
I got "Was it planned?" last Sunday- I wanted to say she stayed out late drinking one night and oops- twins!
and someone asked "Did you use donor sperm" and I wanted to answer- nope, immaculate conception!

them: "How did that happen?"
me: "there was sperm. there was an egg!"
when the inlaws found out about DW being pg , her father looked at me and asked " and this makes you what to the baby?" to which i replied in my big bad voice" the other parent!" so we are drawing straws to see who gets to tell him when i get PG ... :-)
Very often the decision about who will get pregnant is not so simple as to who is the more traditionally feminine. Age, health, insurance, desire to give birth, desire to pass on genes - these are not about wearing skirts
I have a friend who threatens that when I am pregnant he will spread the rumor that it was accidental. That would be amusing.

I completely agree. There are many other reasons besides 'most girly' for one partner to carry vs. the other. So I think the question you received is rather common. Even on this board it's one of the first things that is asked of 'newbies.'
Well, not really funny, but someone said to K, "Congratulations, you're going to be a father!" And this moment of stupidity came from a well educated female who knows K and I well. We in no way have the type of relationship where one of us would use a gender neutral or more masculine term for ourselves. It was very odd.
you never know...one of our kids looks just like my DP and the other acts just like her (so much so it is frightening!)
