Our friends Kathleen and Pedro (parents of 16-month-old Luke) were moving furniture out of an old apartment last week when Pedro hurt his back. It was so bad they ended up hiring someone to finish the work. It’s been a few days and, although it’s much better than it was, Pedro’s back is still causing him some pain. We met for dinner last night and immediately noticed that he was moving stiffly.
“It feels like childbirth,” he moaned.

“It’s better than it was,” Pedro had the nerve (balls?) to continue. “At first the pain was so bad I felt like I was giving birth to twins.”

| IT LOOKS EXACTLY LIKE CHILDBIRTH, DOESN’T IT? |

So glad, for Kathleen’s sake, it wasn’t Man Flu. I’ve heard that’s even worse than childbirth.
