Friends Moment Friday

So I've been on a certain medication for a very long time. Think like 12 years long. And this certain medicine is a life saver at certain times of the month...following?? Life saver as in without it I throw up, pass out, and miss days of work/school. So since the age of 13 I've been on said medication. Hubby has never liked my dependence on it but since he doesn't feel the pain he can't have an opinion :)

Anyway, while I was in TN for the weekend I mentioned to my mom how mad I am that they switched me to a new the brand of medicine that has left me not feeling great for a number of days. My mom simply looks up at me and says, "You're gonna have an awful (as in painful) time getting pregnant when you decide you want to." This thought has haunted me for a long time now--along with a horrible birthing story I heard in college (which I will leave untold!). So, following in Monica's footsteps, I've officially decided the stork is going to bring mine too!

The One With The Birthing Video

(As seen in Season 8, Episode 15)

[Scene: Monica and Chandler’s. Monica and Chandler are sitting on the couch still staring at the screen after watching a birthing video.]

Monica: How long has it been this time?

Chandler: 90 seconds.

Monica: That’s better. 90 seconds is a long time not to think about it…except all I did was think about it.

Chandler: You know, it haunts me? Up ‘til now, the worst thing I ever saw, was my father doing tequila shots off the naked houseboy. After this, I would gladly make that my screensaver!

Monica: Okay, well, we have to get past this! Why don’t we get rid of the tape and pretend it never existed?

Chandler: I can do that.

Monica: Okay.

(Chandler takes the tape and sticks it under the chair cushion)

Chandler: Okay. Now all we’ve got to do is get rid of this chair.

(Chandler crawls over to Monica and they move in to kiss, but they can’t do it and back up. They move in to kiss again, and kiss very awkwardly for a second, until someone knocks on the door.)

Monica: Oh, thank God!

Chandler: Oh, I know!

Monica: Come in!

Rachel: (entering) Hi! I’m so sorry to barge in on your Valentine’s, but I had to get away from all the yelling. Mona is dumping Ross.

Monica: Oh, my God.

Chandler: Poor Ross.

(Monica and Chandler both look at each other and run over to the window to watch the action in Ross’ apartment)

Chandler: Oh, great. We have to watch him do yoga in his underwear, but for this he closes the drapes!

Monica: Rach, you know that birthing tape you wanted to see? It’s here.

Chandler: Oh, and we should warn you, before you watch it: don’t watch it.

Rachel: Why? You saw it? Is it scary?

Chandler: Well, let’s just say it’s ironic how footage of someone being born can make you want to kill yourself.

Monica: honey, she may not have to watch it, but she's going to have to do it.

Rachel: Well, now, wait. Now I’m all freaked out. Come on, you guys will watch it with me.

Monica: No, but I will leave a sweater that smells like me right next to you!

Rachel: Monica, c'mon you wanna have kids.

Monica: I do! but, the stork is gonna bring mine.
