The Pill
I was talking to my mom about the pill, you know The Pill.
ME: I hear it was much stronger way back then.
MOM: It was.
ME: Didn’t you grow moustaches and things from it?
MOM: [leaning forward with emphasis] Women were so happy to have sex without worrying about getting pregnant, or dying from an abortion that they didn’t care if they had to shave their whole face.
Well, that is different isn’t it. She also had to hide her pregnancies, because ya know, 1971 they fired schoolteachers for being pregnant, even if they were married.
