Labor & Delivery

Husband and I were driving home from lunch the other day when it hit him. Diarrhea. So he proceeds to explain to me how diarrhea cramps are basically the same thing as labor contractions. There is a high and low, the urge to push, and then it subsides for a few minutes... only to come back again full force. As he's telling me this, I'm dying laughing and he's practicing breathing exercises so doesn't shit his pants. Then he holds out his hand and says frantically, "Here's another one!" And I hold his hand through his diarrhea contraction.

And this is why we will stay married forever and ever. This is only one reason of many.

You're so nice. I would have shot my husband an evil look and told him it's NOT nearly as painful!

The main difference between the two being that one pain makes you want to push something out and the other pain makes him hold something in.
