      Hmm, is that the date when the fax was sent? I thought, it was just weirdly formatted, but part of the following sentence, so the child will be born on the 25th September.

    Specifying the date this precisely is part of the joke, right? Like, even with a C-section, you wouldn’t know the date several months in advance …right?

      You would if you learned it from an ancient prophecy!

      (They actually do give you a “delivery date” from the first appointment when you’re pregnant irl, but the reality is more like +/- 2 weeks)

      Sure you would. Doctors give you an expected delivery date during the initial exam. It’s not usually accurate, but they give it. It’s close enough.

    I love the rage-grab on the paper. Like the reader knows exactly what’s coming. Like that one guy in every Ronald Emmerich film.
