To celebrate one year of Angry Agony Aunt, I thought I’d become Mayor of Lazytown and get you to answer a question. If you’re a Facebook fan, you would have seen my post asking for answers (public and private) to the below question. All I can say is - thank goodness I’m the Angry Agony Aunt and you’re not. Also, I might do this again, so if you want to be involved next time, just ‘like’ the Angry Agony Aunt on Facebook. Enjoy. Or not.
Dear Angry Agony Aunt,
How do I tell my boyfriend I’m pregnant?Lynette Martha Cavanough – Run like hell when you’re telling him!
Dimmity Dalton – I asked my husband this question (after you posted it on Facebook). He responded by asking, ‘Are you pregnant?’ I told him I wasn't and that it was just a question. He looked down at his crotch and said, ‘Thank god for dumb swimmers’, then left the room. He came back an hour later and said, ‘Hey, does that mean you have a boyfriend’?
Meg Babycuddles – I’d punch him in the face. He’d get the idea eventually.
Grovulus Grooney – Wait until you have an ultrasound photograph then Photoshop the boyfriend’s face onto the fetus and make it the new desktop background on his computer.
Maxwell Adams – My ex-girlfriend sent me a haiku type message. “You had sex with me quickly, now I’m throwing up, very soon I’ll be crowning.”
Gordon Jenkins – Just tell him, don’t be dishonest.
Rebecca Kerry – This happened to me and I sent my husband an Outlook calendar update to attend the birth (on my estimated due date). I was four days early so it wasn’t a bad guess!
Callum Fevola – I hope my girlfriend tells me it’s the milkman’s.
Sally Jaspen – We have four kids and when I fell pregnant with my fifth child, I said to my husband, ‘This time when they cut the cord, we’ll get the doctor to use the scissors on you. Two for one’.
Jeremy Brody – To avoid this kind of discussion, I ask my girlfriend to not talk to me at all. It works out well because she’s not that bright anyway.
Mimi Freeman – I think I’ll get Dad to tell him. I’ll leave it up to Dad to figure out how. No matter what Dad comes up with, it’ll be fun to watch.
Angry Agony Aunt – Don’t tell him. See how long it takes him to figure it out.
