The Scumbag's AA Bill1
Petty Scumbag
The day after giving birth, my husband demanded that we split all the expenses incurred during my pregnancy.
I argued back, but he said, "Stop avoiding responsibility. Men and women are equal. Besides, the child isn't just mine, so don't always expect a free ride, okay?"
Disgusted by his words, I threw the money in his face.
But even though he had the money, he might never have a chance to spend it.

As I Emerged from the delivery room, the anesthesia wore off, and I awoke from my slumber.
The first thing I saw was my husband, Nigel Judson, sitting by my bedside, staring intently at me.
When Nigel noticed I was awake, he hurriedly dragged his chair closer to me.
I looked at him in confusion as he grabbed a notebook from the table and quickly flipped it open, thrusting it in front of me.
Smiling, Nigel said, "Honey, now that you've given birth, shouldn't we settle the expenses from your pregnancy and delivery?"
I opened my mouth, trying to argue, but could only produce hoarse 'ah' sounds.
The incision on my abdomen throbbed with pain, and the baby's cries reminded me that I had just given birth.
