Lego My Prego

Today I learned that the teenaged younger sister of one of my co-workers, who herself was a teen mother, is pregnant. I'm pretty distressed over it.

At times such as this I can't help but imagine how cool it would be if there were such a thing as a magic pill a girl could take to keep her from getting pregnant, even if she were having unprotected sex. It would be such an amazingly cool thing that it wouldn't even really be that much of a hassle if a girl had to take this pill every day at the same time of day. Maybe there would even be confidential clinics she could go to get this pill at a discounted rate or completely free.

Now I'm on a roll. Hell, maybe someone could even invent a shot she could get once a month that would do the same thing without her having to remember to take a pill every day. Or if she didn't like needles maybe she could wear a patch or something and just have to change it once a month. Or maybe, just maybe she could insert a soft little ring into her vajayjay once a month that she wouldn't even notice if she preferred.

Call me a dreamer, I guess.
