Quote from Lois in If Boys Were Girls
[At dinner time, the family are sitting around the table eating a pizza from a box:] Lois: So apparently, there's a risk of extra blood loss with a cesarean section, but Dr. Howard is pretty sure I can deliver vaginally. He says I have a nice, thick placenta. Dewey: What's a placenta? Malcolm: Don't tell him. God! Lois: Why are you boys being so squeamish? Reese: Come on, Mom. It's gross! Lois: What are you talking about? You should be grateful. When you were in my womb, you were feeding off my placenta for nine months. Malcolm: Okay, that's it. [boys exit] Lois: I told you we only needed a medium.
