My mother bought me lingerie and candles for my birthday. <\/p>\n
“Because I want a grandbaby. Buffy!” <\/p>\n
“You know, you have six already. Just because grandma has 27…doesn’t mean you have to.”<\/p>\n
She keeps saying my biological clock is ticking. Even posted it on a message board once because I got snarky and said she didn’t think my sister was pretty. (The two of us tease our mother: “You like our brothers best”.) <\/p>\n
The other day she says one of my BFFs is ‘trying’. <\/p>\n
“It’s what I heard. And I heard she’s struggling. That she doesn’t have much time. You may want to think about that yourself. Some people wait too long.” <\/p>\n
“Whatever. You make it sound like she’s dying and – FYI – if she can’t get pregnant, I don’t think waiting<\/em> is her problem.” She’s 23. <\/p>\n Here’s the thing. I don’t think I have a biological clock. Not the ticking kind anyway. And even if I did….NOT<\/strong> in a real big hurry to get shown up by Super Mom (AKA: The Sister Who Is Very Pretty no Matter What Our Mother Says<\/em>.) <\/p>\n I do like the candles though.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" My mother bought me lingerie and candles for my birthday. “Because I want a grandbaby.
