when the truth comes out

remember that pregnant co-worker i have?
well here's what happened.

=so what's your major?
-oh, i'm studying Bilingual Education, going to be a teacher
=i see
-yeah, i need to work on my spanish though, it's kinda sloppy
=it's better than mine i can tell you that
-you see growing up, spanish was my first language, but after i started school i spoke mostly english even in my house, so i'm a little behind.
{{{{{my first mistake}}}}}
=what will you raise your son to speak?
-i dunno yet.
{{{{{trying to escape it i say}}}}}}}}
=my sister speaks english to her kids while my brother-in-law only speaks spanish
{{{{{like one hears a train engine from a mile away, i knew the topic was coming, i knew i was going to be put on the spot again. it was inescapable. what was i to do? continue my fictitious story about a girl named Julia and a wife with tattoos? no. its time to end this. kill the giant before he eats the crops}}}}}
-what are you going to teach your daughter? - she asks
{{{{{here it comes, the big surprise.}}}}}}
=uhmm.. well...you see...
{{{{{out with it you douche!}}}}}
=i uhh.. actually im not having a daughter. and ....... i'm not married
{{{{{i stare at the ground, ashamed to lift my heavy head. who was i kidding? apparently no one}}}}
-yeah i kinda figured.
{{{{{...hu.....what?..she doesnt mean that. of course she believed me! i played it perfectly!}}}}}
=r..r..really?
-well i was going to call you on it after you said it but i didnt want to upset you.
{{{{the nerve}}}
-it just didnt make sense, you can tell when someone is married
