Jenny's friend Sue and her 8 year old son, Andy, went to the doctor because they had both been sick.  The doctor told Sue that he was changing her medicine to a steroid inhaler, and if she wasn't better within a week, he would put her on Prednizone.

Andy heard his mom telling his dad the outcome of the appointment.

Afterwards, Andy went to his mom and said: "Mom, I don't understand something. How come if you're not better in a week, the doctor is going to make you pregnant?"
