In the first exercise of a natural childbirth class, the fathers-to-be had to wear a bag of sand so they could get a better sense of what it feels to be pregnant.
One husband stood up and shrugged, saying, "This doesn't feel so bad."
The nurse instructor then purposefully dropped her pen and asked the husband to pick it up.
"You want me to pick up the pen as if I were pregnant, the way my wife would do it?" the husband asked.
"Exactly," replied the nurse.
He instantly made friends of all the other men in the room when he turned to his wife and said, "Honey, pick up that pen for me."
