One of my favorite lines from an old Heinlein book was, “You have knocked me up and all is chaos.”

Then there’s the classic Caddyshack line, “Late for not being pregnant.”

But Mom, we did wait! We didn’t get engaged ’til after I got pregnant!

Heh, that phone call between my girlfriend and her mother brings back memories… Scary memories.
