At work last week, I was sitting in the break room doing some of my paperwork, there was a couple worldly girls sitting at a table--Penny and Lisa, then walked in Sister Tammie, and sat beside them. I rolled my eyes as I normally do, for sister Tammy is the dub of all dubs, always at the hall, always leaving Awake rags all over the place, always looking for converts....
Okay, I'm there trying to act inconspicuous, for Sister Tammie is a sister in law to my ex-dumb dub boyfriend, and well, I'm pretty much now Satanic in nature to all in that particular congreg. for what extremes I had to go to, to get him out of my life...But me easedropping on their conversation, at times is amusingly worth it.
"So, how did the doctor's appt. go?" Asked Penny to Tammie.
"I've never been so scared in all my life, it was horrible." Said Tammie.
"Better get used to it, you have to go every year!" Said Lisa.
"Oh, geesh, I thought only married women had to go there."
"So, what did the doctor say?"
"He gave me these pills that I have to take everyday."
(Okay, at this point I stopped concentrating on my work, and started really paying attention to this conversation.)
"What kind of pills, Tammie?"
Tammie whispers, "Birth Control Pills."
"Birth control pills!!!" Penny hollers out.
"Shhhh........they're for my period."
"Didn't you have a boyfriend?" Said Penny, knowing of a special male dub that had been courting Tammie.
"He was just a friend." Barked Tammie, sounding very defensive.
"Was?" Said Penny.
"Yes, we no longer speak, I invited him over to meet my parents, and never heard from him again."
"So, he bolted on you!" Said Penny
"Do you know how to take the pills, Tammie?" Asked Lisa.
"No, I was given a pamplet with them, and that's all."
(Now Penny and Lisa try to teach Sister Tammie HOW to take these birth control pills.)
"Everyday at the same time?? What's the placebo?"
"The pills you don't have to take when you have your period." Said Lisa.
"Yeah, I feed them to my boyfriend, I tell him it's for his sex drive." Jested Penny.
Tammie sits there, making little irrating noises directed on Penny's so worldly statement. For a moment I though she had gas.
"So, did you get a pap smear?" Penny asked.
"Oh, that was horrid, It hurt so much, is it supposed to be so painful?" Asked Tammie.
"Yeah, but only the first time!!!!" Lisa remarked with a laugh.
Tamie whispers again, "I spotted some afterwards."
Of course Penny had to repeated Tammie's words loudly, making sure EVERYONE in the breakroom heard this. Hehe.
"Penny, shut up!"
Then there was a long silence, so I figured Tammie had been embarrassed enough, so I started to resume doing my crap...and drinking my coffee.
But then Tammie made another comment, that made me choke on my coffee, I mean I coughed my lungs out.
"Does this mean I'm not a virgin........since I bled?"
Hehe.
At this point I was paged to the front end, and could not hear the rest of the conversation.
