Early-teenaged girl #1: Have you ever thought you were pregnant?
Early-teenaged girl #2: Omigosh, YES. I was going to overdose on vitamin C, because everyone knows that causes the baby to abort itself.
Slightly-older teenaged boy: Um, you can’t overdose on vitamin C. It’s water solubule, which means it’s impossible to overdose with.
*Blank stares from both girls*
Early-teenaged girl #2: … but it turned out I wasn’t pregnant. THAT was a relief. I mean, I wouldn’t want to hurt MYSELF in the process, you know?
Early-teenaged girl #1: Phew, yeah.
*Boy shakes his head and goes in the water*
