Funny conversation on the playground


Background: On Monday I went to my scheduled pre-natal appointment and was told that all doctor's offices were closed because they had some convention. As I was reading the newspaper later, I discovered that the doctors were actually all on a one day strike because of some ruling that had been made about some doctors who had removed some woman's uterus without cause.

So- I was talking to a lady on the playground and to make conversation I brought up this event. Now most of the conversation was in Hindi except for "uterus" and few other words.

Lady: So do you have a uterus?

Me: Yes...

Her: How old are you?

Me: 30

Her: Aren't you too young to have a uterus?

Me: No, that little girl on the playground has a uterus.

Her: No, a uterus is something you get when you are older.

Me: Do you know what a uterus is.

Her: Yes

And that was the end of the that part of the conversation. I really wonder what she means when she says uterus. Anyway, I got a laugh.
