Today, Ryan brought a co-worker home for lunch. There had been an empty condom box in the trash can in our bedroom, which Sadie had decided would be fun to tear into little bits and scatter about the living room and kitchen.

Ryan kind of laughed and made a little joke about it. His co-worker was puzzled. He asked:

"Uh, you guys are married. Why do use condoms?"

To which Ryan responded:

"Because we're not ready to have a kid yet."

To which co-worker said:

"Isn't that what the pill is for?"

To which Ryan answered:

We don't like the pill.


Not all that exciting or interesting an exchange, really, but what jumped out at me was "WE don't like the pill." Not, "Joella won't take the pill, I know, it sucks." or something similar.

It gave me a bit of a warm fuzzy.

That is all.
