Advice on Motherhood
"Oh Daria," Kay Sloane laughed while dishing out advice, "Motherhood is a joyless burden, it's best just to hire a Mexican nanny to do the hard work for you."
"So in order to be happy as a parent, hire someone named Maria Consuela. Got it." Daria answered back while in the distance, her boyfriend and now baby-daddy was trying to talk his father into bribing an abortion clinic to help them fix the 'situation' without letting Daria's parents know about it.
Then she heard some dreadful words.
"Son," Angier Sloane replied to something Tom had said, "Let's be honest here. Up until now I thought you were gay and I was waiting for you to come out. And considering your sister's muff-diving I feared that I'd never have a grandchild."
Angier then looked at Daria like she was the Holy Grail.
"I'm not looking this gift horse in the mouth. You two are keeping it."
'I guess Tom's going to have to tap the trust fund so I can get a Maria Consuela on deck then.' Daria snarked internally, and darkly.
She sure as hell wasn't going to tap her Montana Cabin Fund, not with Mr. Moneybags and his stupid 'rhythm method' now on call.
But she did decide to break the news to her parents in the most sensitive manner that she could.
