Bath times are happy occassions for me, but this bath I was about to take was teemed with a little excitement. I had my Clearblue hid snugly in between my clean clothes as I pretended to be my usual self while walking to the bathroom. With in-laws, it was more prudent to behave discreetly.
With the bathroom door firmly closed and locked, I examined my kit bought just a few hours earlier.
"Clearblue pregnancy test", "Clear result in 1 minute", "99% accurate".
Wow.
The instructions were easy to follow. Unwrap the stick, remove the cap to reveal a flat tip which was white in colour and measured about 3 centimetres long. Next, hold the tip in your urine stream for five seconds. It will turn pink, and then, you wait one minute for the result.
"+"
"+"???
"+"!!!!!!
So cool.
I need to tell Puzzle!
"Pssssssstttt!!!!!" I hissed towards the bathroom window. It was a long shot that he would hear it, but if he doesn't, it would be his loss. Not mine. Heh.
Like the miracle that produced the "+" sign, Puzzle heard me. I let him into the bathroom and closed the door. Our own private world once again.
I pointed to the plus sign on the stick, and he examined it for a duration that caused me to frown. Just beneath the result window were two simple explanations. Plus means "pregnant", minus means "not pregnant".
"So, what does this mean?" Puzzle asked.
I was flabbergasted.
"I thought you could read," I remarked acidly.
That brought him back to his senses.
"Oh, of course," he said with a smile.
With my mission accomplished, I shooed him out of the bathroom and began my bath, sneaking occassional coy glances at the plus sign lying a metre away from me.
Such funny "collaboration" at the bathroom! Hahaha
