When we go to the doctor, we typically don’t have anything funny on our mind. In fact, most of us don’t even think about visiting a doctor until we have a serious symptom or two to discuss.
That’s why it was so shocking—and unexpectedly hilarious—for this mother and daughter when they went in for what they thought would be a routine check‑up. Instead, the doctor delivered a diagnosis with a sense of humor that left everyone in the room speechless… and laughing for days.
A woman takes her 16‑year‑old daughter to the doctor.
The doctor smiles politely and says, “Okay, Mrs. James, what seems to be the problem?”
The mother folds her arms, clearly worried. “It’s my daughter, Darla. She keeps getting these strange cravings, she’s putting on weight, and she’s sick most mornings. I’m really concerned.”The doctor nods, takes his time examining Darla thoroughly, then steps back and sighs. “Well, I don’t quite know how to tell you this,” he says, adjusting his glasses. “But your Darla is pregnant—about four months along, if I had to guess.”
The mother gasps, eyes wide. “Pregnant?! That’s impossible! She can’t be! She has never, ever been left alone with a man! Have you, Darla?”
Darla shakes her head frantically, her eyes brimming with tears. “No, Mother! I’ve never even kissed a man!”
The room falls silent. The doctor stands still for a moment, then without a word, walks over to the window and gazes out into the distance.
