I got pregnant with another guy two days before my wedding

Eve fears her son may have been conceived during a final encounter with another man shortly before her wedding.

Dear Uncle Ted,

Before I got married, I was dating two men. Two days before our wedding, I had sex with the other guy to say goodbye to single life. He cheated me that he was using a condom but in the middle of action, he pulled it off without my knowledge. I swallowed a pill but I think it backfired because my son looks exactly like him.

The saving grace is my hubby has never suspected because the two men have the same skin tone, plus he loves that boy like crazy. But recently, I have been feeling guilty about keeping this secret from him. Should I confess?

Eve

Uncle Ted replies

Dear Eve,

Next year promises to be thoroughly miserable. The rains might be dodgy. The sun will be hot. Crops might fail. And politicians will be yelling nonsense in our ears from dawn to dusk. The economy being what it is, and given the colossal amounts of money people have stolen, chances are there won’t be anything to eat around here.
