A conversation in the work lunch room:

Coworker 1: “I’m going to a wedding shower.  Everyone was given an occupation and our gift is supposed to be appropriate if the bride was that occupation.”

Coworker 2: “Hmm. What occupation did they give you?”

Coworker 1: “Policeman.”

Coworker 2: “Ohh, that’s a tough one. What are you going to bring?”

A few moments of silence. I prepare myself for blushing and an uncomfortable conversation rich in sexual innuendos.

Coworker 1: “I was thinking about a donut maker.”

Today, I am grateful for getting older and looking forward to the age where bridal shower gift ideas move from kinky to domestic.
