For example, when my wife was pregnant the first time, each time I went out to pick up food, I was able to say, "Listen, I know this order is a pain, but my wife is pregnant and if it's not exactly as I order it, I'm just going to have to come back and exchange it, so here goes..." Or, when she was pregnant either the first time or second time, something in the fridge would be on the verge of expiration, and she'd ask me to exchange it for one with a further date when I went to Wegman's (best store on earth). So I'd sheepishly walk up to the customer service counter and say, "(sigh) I know this is a pain, but my wife is pregnant and I need to exchan--" "Say no more sir. Just go pick out another and bring it back here." Greatest...excuse...ever. Good times. THe “my wife is pregnant” is the single greatest excuse around.
