Conversations at Work: Volume VIII (Congratulations...Dad?!?!?)
After nearly nine months of waiting, a coworker on another floor and his wife are the proud parents of a baby girl. Because we’re all fine individuals with humongous hearts who try to do the right thing, the Boss’ Secretary, Coworkers #1, #2, #3, and I have been racking our brains trying to figure out what kind of gift we should buy for the new daddy’s little girl.
Coworker #3: I think we should buy her a shirt. All babies need clothes.
Coworker #2: Yeah, I don’t know; that’s not really that creative. Plus, parents can get weird when you try to buy their kids clothes.
Boss’ Secretary: (Off somewhere puffing on a cigarette)
Coworker #1: We could always go with a gift certificate to Baby Gap. That way, they could pick out the outfits.
Thinking Fool: I think we should pay for a paternity test.
So far, we’re still undecided, but I’m arguing vigorously for the paternity test. On the off chance that it's not his kid, wouldn't it be better for him to learn this now? He doesn't want to face an Amber Frey situation.

The Boss's Secretary has something in her thick skull? Are you sure???

Excellent point, NYU Jew. After today's difficult decision by her not to engage in fraud, (and yes, it took her awhile to reach that decision), I'm starting to doubt the existence of anything in that skull!
