A group of friends and I were working on a project outside at their house, and for some reason, a couple of people started talking about names that work for boys and girls. Then one of the people, a mother of one of my friends, just chimes in with "I give all my miscarries unisex names because I never know if they are a boy or a girl."
...
"I always like to pretend what they'd be like as a boy or a girl."
Honest to god, my only reaction was to say out loud, "Yeah, that's...um...yeah."
I was waiting for a moment for that woman to say something completely off the wall and there you go. That kind of killed the mood for me that afternoon. I was fine with the rain, but jesus.
