Brain: “So you are coming soon right? I’ll just wait.”
Uterus: “That’s not what I said. You need to stop”
Brain: “It’s okay I’ll just wait.”
Uterus: “I’m not coming”
Brain: “Okay it’s been months now, you’re starting to freaking me out. Where are you?”
Uterus: “I can’t come… you know that.”
Brain: “Please I need you. Why aren’t you coming?!”
Uterus: “You know why. Just stop.”
Brain: “I can’t.”
Uterus: “You can but you won’t, will you?”
Brain: “I’m sorry.”
Uterus: “Don’t be. You got what you wanted… didn’t you?”
Brain: “No.”
Uterus: “Oh.”
