Last week we brought you part one of our live performance of modern Love at the Hot Docs podcast festival in Toronto.
This week, part two here's Paul sun hyung lee of the CBC show Kim's convenience reading Carlos Kotkin's essay we didn't have a plan, but the baby did.
About a year into our marriage, my wife and I decided we were ready for the adventures of having a child.
Now, despite our best efforts, it wasn't happening.
We didn't know why.
One night, as we were watching television, my wife turned to me and said, I think you're the problem.
She had no medical background.
She was going by a woman's intuition to set her mind at ease, I paid a visit to my doctor.
It was my first time seeing this doctor.
She looked to be about in her early thirties, with dark hair and bright red lipstick.
I explained to her that my wife and I were trying to have a kid, but so far, no luck.
She said she would refer me to a fertility clinic.
In the meantime, she suggested my wife and I have sex three times a week.
I asked if she could please put that in writing.
A month later, I went to the fertility clinic alone.
My wife and I were married in our late thirties, hence our urgency as a bachelor, I never imagined marriage would one day lead me to a small room in a medical office that contained a plastic specimen cup, a sink, a chair, a tv, and a dvd entitled young and horny.
A sticker on the dvd read, property of fertility clinic Please do not remove now without the use of visual aids.
