Really? One in four women misread a pregnancy test? Really? I might believe that one in four women accidentally pee on their hand, or take the test too soon, or that a quarter of women took their pregnancy test too soon so when it came up negative they went out drinking to celebrate and when they took another pregnancy test a few days later and it turned out positive they freaked out. That last one's a true story, happened to a friend of ours. Don't worry, the doctor said it wasn't a big deal and he gets that question all the time. So maybe that last one happens way more than 25% of the time. But still, misreading the thing? Just look at the box and compare pictures; this is grade school stuff!
That being said, I should be honest and let you know that Catie and I actually bought the digital one that tells you in words "Pregnant" or "Not Pregnant". Not that I doubted my ability to read one line or two, it's just that it would look better in the pictures. It's the truth. In the days when pregnancy albums are obligatory content in Facebook, MySpace, unread blogs, and digital emailing, it's not cool to send a picture of two lines. Pregnancy tests may use a plus or a minus, and if you get a minus it may look like one line, not two, when actually it's a not pregnant, instead of an is pregnant. I think I said that right. Wait, am I getting confused about pregnancy tests? Am I one of the twenty-five percent? Come on!
