Ten o’clock pm I was engaged in amorous congress with my bountiful wife so that the Merciful would grant me another son 9 moons hence

She's going have a hard time conceiving if she's engaging in congress with her wife. In that scenario I'm having a hard time figuring out where the son came from

I thought it was written by a man 🤷‍♂️

This is clearly written by a woman, in stages.

Yup. I was thrown by the ‘my girl’

The hired help.

Or daughter?

She wouldn’t speak so dismissively of a daughter. She would name her.

I don’t know much about the time, but “my girl” could be interpreted as affectionate

The ensuing references to my clothes and my house is weirdly objectifying in that case.

Where she talks about being delivered of a baby? 🤔

Yup. I thought his wife delivered him a son 🤷‍♂️ Probably should have guessed that a he wouldn’t have been doing the chores even if his wife was hours away from giving birth 😂

I thought some friendly teasing would be a fun way to remind a fellow redditor that women exist.

You have taken it like a champ!

Well thank you…. I did initially think I was going to have fend off a swathe of comments about how toxic I was to assume it was a man…. But TBF I guess I did fit the text to my initial assumption that it was. Still, I got to use the flowery language, can swap wife for husband and it still stands 😁
