Great Expectations

Amber and Chip have taken the idea of a modern marriage to extreme. Chip has taken to reading What to Expect When You're Expecting in the vain hope his wife will get the message (at least, Amber hopes it's a hint and not a sign of something altogether stranger). And, at Chip's office party, he was chatting away with three mothers, pumping them for info, while Amber kept sneaking off to watch the football.

When asked if Chip had any insights to share on their hopefully-impending family expansion, Amber mumbles: "Dunno. It's a massive book, so I'm hoping he'll just give me the edited version to save me reading it. I'm contemplating using it for a door stop or for weight training, but he reads it every night till I drag it off him."
