The Stick Doesn't Lie

But we took two tests, just to be sure.

The first one was taken at a ridiculous pre-dawn hour on September 10, 2007, after I was woken up by our cat Nomi, who enjoys chewing on my hair for breakfast. With bleary eyes I stared at the stick, wondering if the plus sign was a strange bout of double vision, so I called out for Steven, dead asleep in bed, who stumbed in a few moments later to confirm the sighting. A few hours later we bought another one and this time there was no doubt what the double pink line meant!


This is Nomi. Don't be fooled by her innocent expression. She eats hair like humans eat pasta.
