From the New Yorker Magazine
"Are you sure you're ovulating now?"
I was flipping through an old New Yorker from June and in the cartoon caption contest they had this line submitted as one of the entries for this cartoon. Pretty hilarious! I wonder if the submitter is going through fertility treatments, but God bless her for a funny line. Unfortunately it didn't win the contest even though in my mind it far beat the others. I suppose most readers (and most New Yorker editors) can't appreciate the great lengths it takes to get pregnant. I don't know about you, but it seems that all business trips, family visits, pre-planned vacations fall at the same time as ovulation. So I know I would love to strap a parachute on my hubby, and on myself for that matter.

hilarious. you can bet if the editor was an infertile, the caption would have been selected.
ha ha that is so great!! that totally should have won!
I have a frequent traveler for a husband, and that cartoon captures the spirit of 2006-2008 for us!
Nice entry. I love the cards you made. LOL
I think the cards Hallmark is making is a step in the right direction. I would rather get a card from someone then have them say "are you ok?" Getting a card means I know they care but I don't have to feel obligated to answer their question "are you ok" often my response is either. "I'm fine" or "I don't want to talk about it"
