Me: So how much was the pregnancy test? $15? $20?
Wife: Only $6. For two.
Me: For two? Wow, good deal. I guess we have teen pregnancy to thank for that.

They are after all, only 99.97% accurate (or so). SOMEbody has to make up that .03%. Again - I’m not trying to scare you. And where is your wife shopping that she gets two for $6 ?! Last time I got the 2-pack it cost twice that !

But then ordinary smells were getting to me really bad & I have had PMS symptoms that just kept building up but no period. So I wanted to wait a week & test again but I wasn’t going to buy any more from the store at that price. I bought them online for $2.25 each & I bought 7 so I can have free shipping (free shipping if I spent at least $14.95) ;). Well, the moment I received them I took a test right away & lo & behold, got a positive result. So now…we’re expecting our 3rd baby….and I have 6 hpt to spare…

The wife went in, I stopped breathing and almost fell over when she came back and said it was negative.
