Guy thought hospital had a baby-hating ward

[Pixilated]

Wow, I feel sorry for the kid, having a twit like that for a father.

I'm against flooding! I'm antediluvian!

I'm against chambers! I'm antechamber!

I'm against lopes! I'm an antelope!

Those friggin' Lopes'll mess you UP man!

We use the word antenatal regularly in the US

Really? I've never heard it used in the U.S.

Where my kids were born, the area was simply maternity ward. However, I did over hear one of the nurses call it "The Hatchery" one day. They nearly ended up with coffee coloured walls from that.

And my next question would be...wasn't he with his wife for the entirety of her pregnancy? Wouldn't she have gone to that ward at some point before? Yeah...I think he broke my brain. Wow.

Sounds like he was a first time dad, the panicked tone, the yelling... Really sounds like the stereotypical first time dad. I would have felt sorry for him too, his brain probably stopped once he heard his wife was in labor. It's like "This is really happening, in just a couple hours I am going to hold my child in my arms." He's freaking out, but in a good, funny way. Glad he was the "suckiest" customer you had to tell us about this time.

... his wife was in labor ...

... he's at the hospital and she's still at home.

That Italian restaurant caters to people who don't like spaghetti. See on the menu? They have antipasto!

It's amazing that this mansion (in a southern state) has been owned by "peaceniks" since before Lincoln was president. It's antebellum!

*sighs* Poor guy, brain stopped the moment he heard his wife was in labor. This kind of thing is why my preferred hospital calls it "Labor and Delivery," and has section called "Maternity." Supposedly, this penetrates the panicked mind better, because people are trained by the TV and that's what the sitcoms and dramas call them.

As hubby quipped, "One section, you'll hear the mothers-to-be screaming. In the other, you'll hear the babies!" After this last trip through, aI gotta agree. (Today's typos brought to you by an 8mnth old slaming his hAND on tehE k!EYBoarqd>!)
