Non-Pregnancy-Related Trivia You Can Discuss with Your Non-Pregnant Friends!

friends

By as early as your second trimester, your non-pregnant friends (also known as “normals”) will have had just about enough uterine updates from you. Yes, your hair is getting super-glossy and yes, you just felt your little miracle kick for the 83rd time, but for some reason, they have lost interest in your life-creating abilities. They are probably jealous, or else they loathe babies and the parents who birth them, but either way, you might want to keep those suspicions to yourself. If you want to keep your friends, now’s the time you have to fake interest in the outside world.

Can you do it? Yes, you can! With this AMAZING TRIVIA:

1. Guess which United States presidents weren’t breastfed?

6. Who is the only player in NBA history to accumulate 20,000+ points in his career, while averaging fewer than 15.0 points per game?

Answers
1. Bill Clinton and Taft? I’m just guessing.
2. Seven.
3. Gross, right? But it makes sense if you think about it.
4. I’m pretty sure the Egyptians did that.
5. Probably a fruit fly. That’s why they do so much science on them.
6. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
