It's Okay
A woman and her husband had been trying to have a third child for a while.
Unfortunately, the day she was to take a home pregnancy test, he was called out of town on business.
She had told their young daughters about the test, and they were excited.
They decided if it was positive, they would buy a baby outfit to surprise their father when he got home.
The three of them stood in the bathroom eagerly waiting for the telltale line to appear.
When it did not, their thoughtful seven-year-old gave her mum a hug.
"It’s okay, Mum," she said. "The next time Daddy goes out of town, you can try and get pregnant again."
