Typical conversation with the boss.
Boss: Why do you have a note on your desk that says “pickles”?
Me: Because I want to do some pickling; making Christmas gifts.
Boss: (rolling eyes) You would. Why pickles?
Me: Apparently they’re the new thing, and I really love pickles. I’ve been craving them all week.
Boss: You’re pregnant, aren’t you?
Me: Not unless I’ve immaculately conceived.
Boss: Hey, it’s happened before … that would be awkward.
Me: Are we done here?
