Mr. Sharma comes home one night, and his wife throws her arms around his neck:
'I have great news: I'm a month overdue. I think we're going to have a baby!
The doctor gave me a test today, but until we find out for sure, we can't tell anybody.'
The next day, Mrs. Sharma receives a telephone call from Reliance Energy because the electricity bill has not been paid.
' Am I speaking to Mrs. Sharma? '
