On Knowing When You're Ready for Children

Setting: The living room, watching TV; a State Farm insurance ad is on
Characters: Roommates Meredith and Tiffany

The State Farm commercial shows different people at different stages of their life, some young, some old and some in between. One shot shows a father in his son's nursery.

Meredith: Aww...look at that dad with his son. Precious little...

Pause.

Tiffany: What do you think it says that I noticed the rug and the lamp, but not the baby?

Meredith: I don't know. What do you think it says that I noticed the man but not the baby.

Tiffany: We're not ready to have children.
