"I didn’t use many pregnancy tests myself. But for three years running, I did hope like crazy that I would have reason to need one. And then one day, long after I’d all but given up, a tiny hieroglyphic materialized in one of those little windows. It was like the best-ever fortune fluttering from a Chinese cookie. What I held was no longer a test, it was a trophy. And it’s no wonder I still can’t toss it out." [A Moment of Revelation, Preserved in a Test Stick - New York Times]
