1 in 4

Have you ever seen the commercial that claims that 1 in 4 American women can misread a pregnancy test? Do you get as offended as I do? I mean really, there's a line or there isn't, right? Who needs their silly expensive digital test? However, I must confess. I've done it. I am your 25%. I fulfill the stupid part of that statistic. In my defense, I took two tests of two different brands within a somewhat small time period and sillily (this is a hard word to say) assumed that the store-brand version of the test would show results in the same way that the name brand it imitates does. Alas, I was wrong. Therefore, many moons ago, I nervously told Wonderman he was going to be a daddy WAY before we were ready for that. It was a good time to have read the test wrong. However, the most recent time I took such a test, I carefully read the instructions that came with the test while I waited for it to . . . develop(?-I'm not sure the appropriate term for a stick I just peed on). This time I'm sure. It's for real. Now I've got a whole new slew of statistics to worry about.
