June 2000 -13 Journal of Dana Scully The reality of Mom discovering my miraculous pregnancy is starting to hit home. At first, I wondered if I dreamed all that stuff about rabbits, and Facts Plus and the EPT tests, but then I went into the bathroom to throw up the Ovaltine macaroni and cheese I craved last night, and the empty Facts Plus and EPT boxes were still in the waste basket. So I figured I better call Mom and sort of feel her out. Last time I discussed my reproductive system with her was at Easter, when I stubbornly refused to attend the Annual Scully Easter Egg hunt because I considered it an insensitive assault on my supraovulated, barren body. Mom was pissed about that, but I couldn't bring myself to tell her that the REAL reason I wasn't about to wake up at 6:00 on an April morning and go foraging through her backyard was that I was much more content to lie in bed with My Touchstone and read the New York Times backwards. So just as I was trying to work up the courage to call Mom and attempt to tell her about my miraculous return to fertility and even more miraculous return to sexual activity, the door bell rang. I figured it would be Mom, coming to have that heart to heart talk we've both been avoiding, but it was Father McCue instead. He wasted no time and asked me immediately if I had something I wanted to confess. There he was, an imposing figure standing there in his clerical collar, and I'm just in a bathrobe monogrammed, "FWM" -- Muld....My Partner's robe! I told him that the monogram stood for "Federal Workers' Morningwear" and he was nonplussed. He asked again in that gentle but prodding way, "Is there something you'd like to tell me?" So I spilled everything. I did the whole, "Bless me Father for I have sinned" bit, and admitted to going through the express line at Safeway with 14 items rather than the limit of 12. I admitted that I once prayed for it to rain sleeping bags so Mmmy Partner would get lucky. I admitted that as time when on, it would take far less than a rare meteorological fluke for Mmmy Partner to get lucky. I admitted that I'd temporarily converted to Buddhism to get lucky too, and THAT really stumped the poor old guy. He patted my tummy, which is still almost ab-roller spokesperson-worthy, and shook his head, blessed me and said he hoped to see me in church later that morning. I would have gone to church, later, really, I'd planned on it. It's just that when I was checking my e-mail to see if Byers, Langly and Frohike had any news for me, I decided to check the Nabisco web site and I made the most HORRIBLE discovery! Mallomars aren't
manufactured between mid-March and October! I thought it
was some terrible, terrible, joke, but it's true! Ever
since Mallomars were first introduced on November 13,
1913 in West Hoboken, New Jersey, these sinful treats,
smothered in a pure dark chocolate coating, are
susceptible to melting in the warmer summer months, so
Mallomar production goes on a hiatus not dissimilar to a
network television schedule! If only I had known in
advance and could have planned! The Mallomar website (http://www.snackwells.com/Mallomars/default.htm for future DKS
