Congratulations! It's a boy!
That's great! He's healthy, right? All his fingers and toes?
Oh, yes, perfectly healthy. However, we've performed some tests, and the results are not promising.
What? What's the matter? My son's going to grow up big and strong and play catch with me, right?
I'm sorry, sir. Your son's carrying the Geek gene. Chances are he'll be a fat, awkward geekanerd. Oh, and he'll be more interested in comics than girls.
Why, God, why?
