In fact, I could probably eat all three!I guess I shouldn't have snickered about that. The four women sitting at our dining room table wanted to know ...hat I thought was so funny."Uh ... Nothing!" I said. I headed for the big chair next to the fireplace and immersed myself in a book on the theory of mass communication.About half an hour later, Dani and Doreen were sharing my lap."You aren't going to quit making love to us just because you've already succeeded in knocking us up, are you?"

Girls do NOT take great big fat dumps, as you so politely call them.

If you don’t mind sharing a table with me, I’ve not really kept up with the world outside. Some catching up is in order, I suppose.’ he suggested.
