WEEK 327
"I'm eating healthy, I'm working out, I'm walking farther every day," Kristy said, "but I still can't seem to..."


...lose weight!"

She starts to nervously walk back and forward in the living room, scratching her head and wondering what she was doing wrong.

Her husband Jack was sitting in the sofa next to her and in a very small almost mousy voice says, "Maybe you're pregnant?" Kristy stops striding back and forth and sits down on the sofa beside her husband. After a few moments of silence, she sighs and says, "I haven't had my minstrel cycle this month, maybe I should take a pregnancy test," her husband nods favorably to her suggestion.

The newlyweds go to the closest pharmacy to buy the pregnancy test, then they make their way back home. Kristy goes to the bathroom and as soon as she is done leans the stick on the bathroom sink and goes out to the living room, holds her husband's hand and they both wait anxiously.

The minutes are not many although they seem endless...and those few minutes might change the path of their whole life.

...take off any more weight! AND it's all costing me a FORTUNE! I feel like a pelican!"

"What do you mean - what has a pelican got to do with being overweight and out of cash?" Terry asked.

"Well, I'm a lot like Big Bird with a MASSIVE BILL!"
