Chatting With My Mom

Me: One of the most shocking things is not how much the pregnant women drink and smoke on Man Men but how they do it so unselfconsciously. So naturally.
Mom: I did that when I was pregnant with you and your brothers. That's definitely real.
Me: It would be almost impossible now. You'd be driven from polite company. Bartenders would refuse to serve you.
Mom: I remember that Peggy and I used to joke that we had to drink our gin straight because we were worried about the quinine in tonic hurting our unborn children. Then we'd laugh and take a drag from a cigarette.
Me: So that's what happened.
Mom: Only boring people are bored.
