She is keeping secrets
So earlier today, I found out my wife was hiding something from me and not something little. Oh my gosh. I'm a puke. It's not that I don't like kids. I just it's not the right time. We just had one four months ago, and I cannot imagine having two. Have you ever seen a hospital bill? What it worst to give birth? It's ridiculous. Well, maybe you could sell if you think. So you're not you're not you're not even seeing the issue tier. That's not the problem. Well, I'm just trying to be realistic. No. I need to clear my heart, dude. What is this? A pregnancy test. When are we planning on telling me? Steven, that's an old pregnancy test from Blake. This tiny, minuscule, little part of my life is called relief. And the only wonder I have now is why are women keeping old pregnancy best?
