Since we found out about Jenny’s impending c-section, we’ve been joking about how I could be the one to tie her tubes. (Don’t ask me why. And you already knew we were weird.), so when she posted yesterday about how she pretty much can’t wait for that to happen, I commented that she left out one important detail – that I would be performing the procedure.
Which lead us to have this conversation via IM (and since we think we are hilarious, we’re posting it):
Emily says:
did you like my comment on your post?
Jenny says:
yes, we really do need to explore that option!
Emily says:
i mean really, i’m pretty sure we’d be the most famous bloggers ever if I could get bobby to hold the video camera while I tied your tubes.
Jenny says:
that is sooo bad!! no offense but could you take a crash course first?
Emily says:
sure. I will find a youtube video.
Jenny says:
oh Lord! are you cool with blood? i don’t want you passing out before you finish the job!
Emily says:
hmm… I don’t know. I’ve never really been presented with a sliced-open body part before. But there’s only one way to find out.
Jenny says:
can you like do some experiements in a lab or something?
Emily says:
good idea. maybe i can take a summer sprint course in tube tying
how hard could it be?
Jenny says:
seriously you can tie a knot, right?
Emily says:
I’ve been tying my shoes for years.
Jenny says:
innards, shoestrings, its all the same
Emily says:
totes
Better get Mackenzie in on this!
UP
you guys need serious help. but i do appreciate the reference to sprint courses.
Ohhhh I crack up every time I read it! It never gets old! We so need help.
I hear just tying the tubes leaves the chance that they grow back and you can all of a sudden, 10 years down the road, find yourself with a very UNEXPECTED surprise. I hear cutting and burning the ends works much more effectively!!! Just an FYI!!! 🙂
Good to know, Greis!
Anyone have any more “best practice” tips before I conduct the procedure?
My dr. actually held them up after my c-section to prove that he actually cut, tied, AND burned them. Jenny might want proof. =)
HAHA!!!! Em, you do work at a university and all. I think that takes you one step up on the education of the tube tying too!
lol! You guys are funny- I actually had a dream last night that you two were hosting Saturday Night Live….
Wait, that may be more a sign that I need to step away from the Google Reader than a sign that you two are hilarious. 😉
Burn baby burn! Always go for the burning or fulguration as the medical types like to call it. And this may be too personal, but the vasectomy is more reliable and easier to reverse. And that I could do for you!
Kenz, I love you, but I am not letting you give my husband a vasectomy. And since I am gonna be all opened up anyways, why not just make it a two-fer and get ’em burned??? I’ll take another one for the team!
Excuse me…Emily E. I’m the one trying to host SNL…if you haven’t see my page on Facebook…please look for it
1,000,000 million people who want Redneck Latte to host SNL
Seriously, I mean really, c’mon!

You guys crack me up! I enjoy reading your blog and that is why I shared a Sunshine Award with you on my blog.
