Maury P. & Other Jerry Springer Moments
Every now and again, everyone watches daytime talk shows. I am not talking about The View, Oprah, or anything that is remotely respectable. (Granted, all talk shows are about respectable as a US Weekly or People, but I digress.) I am talking about the National Enquirer level of trash that you cannot help but giggle about as you watch it. You cannot believe the stupidity ofthe people involved. It is on such a level that you are not 100% certain if it's staged.
Well.
Let's zoom into my family for a moment, where I will prove some stories are true.
Let's start with my cousin, uh.. let's call her Sally. Sally nine months back discovers that she is pregnant. She is 19ish and the only real reason why she has been trying since she was 16 to get pregnant is that her older sister has a child and the parents shower attention on her older sister and the child. Sally kinda gets the short end of the stick, so jealousy being what it is... have a baby. It will change your life. Well, her boyfriend at the time gets to be the lucky sperm donor of the moment, and so she tells him and everyone else that she's allergic to all forms of birth control.
Apparently when you live in the backwoods of Wisconsin, this is a believable excuse.
So pregnant. The guy and her decide to get married, set a date. Then he cancels by running away from the area as fast as his car will take him. Sally is heart broken, pregnant and now fucked. Especially when she hasn't been checking in on her housing from the state and now is off the list once again and the place she's staying in is kicking her out. Woe is her and her lack of responsibility.
So.. the sperm donor shows back up like last month. Sally says she refuses to have anything to do with the man who ran out on her. Her. Not her and the kid. NOt the kid. Just her. But Sally ends up going out with him and they fall back into their desperate love. Now Donor boy is not very bright. In fact, he has nothing going for him. Hell, his mommy being rich doesn't even make him worth it, cause it's like back woods rich. So they own a bar and land. Whee. Anyways, so donor likes to be the big man and control Sally..who willingly goes along cause that's what love is. Fighting and back bitching, ect ect ect.
Sally has not attended any of her birthing classes. Has refused to stop smoking, and started to go into labor this weekend.
She has yet to even THINK about the kid she's bringing into the world.
No thought of anything. Not even names, nothing.
It is as if it's going to vanish upon birth.
Tell me that's not the most fucked up thing you've witnessed over Thanksgiving.
