So my high school sweetheart and I were pregnant at ages 17/18. Her dad was a youth minister and at the time all our parents thought it was best we go up and announce this in front of the church which we did. So yeah, could be things worse than just telling someone’s dad. On the bright side, it put it right out in the open and many people actually seemed very sympathetic and accepting because they had similar skeletons in their closet. We’ve now been married 27 years.

At first I read this and thought, “Geez, this guy must be old if 21 years ago he was already 18.”
Then I did the math and realized 21 years ago was 2002 and I was… also 18. Damn.
