It was sunny the whole day. We were suppose to go on a bike ride... and sure enough about 6pm it got dark and started pouring. We mourned over the loss of a potentially epic bike adventure in the lab with some intelligent conversation.

Me: This is sad.
A: I know.. it's disgusting.
B: Oh... you're sad... poor baby. Hey, why don't you have a baby yet.
Me: Me? I don't know. Why? you think I should have one?
B: Yeah, you and D can share one. (To D) Hey, you want to share a baby with her?
D: (Was talking to A) Huh? Share a baby? Sure, how? Left and right?
Me: No, the baby will be OCD clean on one side.
D: True. Who's gonna make them?
Me: Details... We'll figure it out later.
B: Oh, we'll all share it. It can be a communal baby.
A: Aww... (mock hand clap) it'd be so cute.
B: You can bring it here, there's enough of us, we'll all take care of it for a few hours.
D: (Nod) We can each pet it for a few hours.
A: ... like a cat... ?
D: Is it gonna be half asian?
Me: If it's mine of course it will be. I'm more concern about who's gonna feed it.
B: A can feed it... (grin).
Me: (To B) Haha... you're lucky she didn't hear you.
A: I can't go home in this weather. I don't even have an umbrella.
Me: Maybe instead of a baby we should have a communal umbrella...

M, a much more mature research associate in our lab finally turned towards us: You guys should really check the weather channel sometimes.
