How Pregnancy Changes Renos

[me] "So I'm looking for a glass doorknob... where would I start?"

[woman at the doorknob place] "Well, we have a drawer full over there. Do you know if you need the mortis? How big you want your plates to be? If it's a round hole or a square hole?"

[me] "I have no idea... I just thought I'd come in and buy a knob?"

[woman at the doorknob place] "Oh dear... If we don't have that info, I can't really sell you anything, because you'll surely end up with the wrong thing."

[me] "Huh, who knew buying a doorknob would be so difficult?!"

[woman at the doorknob place] "Buying a doorknob is actually a LOT like giving birth, as you'll soon find out. There's a LOT of intricate details people really aren't aware of."

[me] "Uh, I'm pretty sure it's nothing like giving birth. One is going to cost me 50 bucks, the other is going to cost me my vagina never ever being the same again."

I'm with Lavender on that. Being a fly on your wall would be some good entertainment.

I suppose for 50 bucks you are looking for new glass knobs? If not, I have a whole bunch of antique ones, haha.... I'm just waiting for my heritage home to install them in.

You're a funny one. Silly lady comparing doorknobs to giving birth!

Mine did more of a number on my stomach, personally.

However, below the stretchmarks and the extra skin my, ahem, is honeymoon fresh.

Not that I ever get the chance to use it any more. :)

Unlike my doorknobs.

I can not believe anyone would compare buying a doorknob with giving birth. Too funny.

Dora said...

Hilarious!

Kathleen said...

No! You did not actually say that!! Did you? Haha!

Christina said...

Too funny! How on earth can she possibly think that buying anything is like giving birth? That's like comparing door knobs to babies!

Very true (your comment anyway!)

MrsSpock said...

UM, buying a doorknob is NOTHING like giving birth. WTH?

Sheri said...

I have NEVER heard of giving birth being compared to buying a doorknob. In fact, I can't think of any similarities at all!

You are too funny! I'm with Lavender Luz. I'd love to hang out with you for a day. I bet my gut would be sore from laughing so hard.

WAAYYY too funny!

And now having done both, I can say with confidence that the saleslady must have been on crack.
