Situation: Female co-workers chattering after a lunch together. (5, young, married) General topic: Family; Kid’s capers; Guests Sudden Turn: Who would it be this year? [ There’s a mini-joke regarding our institute and it is labeled as PPX. Means it is not X, it is Permanently Pregnant X. Every year, we have atleast one female faculty taking maternity leave and that has led to the title. ] Co-worker A: Who would it be this year? Co-Worker B: Aww, it has to be D! D: Hee Hee Hee! I was a part of the group. My name was not included, intentionally/unintentionally on the most likely to reproduce this year. I did not make ‘the cut’ into their list. What would have pinched you more? Inclusion on the list – and hence the hurt of how tough it is actually to live to the expectations or Exclusion – when one is no longer considered capable of progeny? ^WiseGuy^
