Special Delivery
At the nice sushi place, I thought it was time to clear up a few misconceptions for the eldest son, officially 24 years old. "Honey, I hope this doesn't upset you, but you weren't actually delivered by UPS." He stared at his chopsticks, gathering his thoughts. "But you always said I came wrapped in a comfy package, overnight express." "I lied." "For 24 years, I've been telling people I was delivered by UPS, and now, you're saying that's not how it happened?" "I'm afraid so." "Then how the @#$% did I get here?" "I delivered you." "As in, you drove up to the hospital in a truck?" "As in, I endured a hellish labor that lasted many hours, during which I grunted, screamed, and at one point, laughed hysterically for no reason at all, until finally, you entered the world with a pointy head that made your grandparents very nervous." "But it was worth it, right?" "Absolutely."

Just on the outside chance he's "known" a woman in the Biblical sense, you may want to be just a tad more specific with the poor boy.
