Credit where credit is due

"Did you work out while you were pregnant?"

"Yeah. I signed up for a gym membership and used the elliptical trainer three times a week."

"Do you think it made a difference?"

"For sure. It helped during labor when I was in good enough shape to push her out. They also give this test on babies to determine their amount of jaundice, and her doctor said he had never seen a baby with better results. I don't know if the fact that I worked out had anything to do with that, but I like to delude myself into thinking that it did."

"So essentially, you scored perfect on the jaundice test."

"Well--"

"You were the valedictorian of the jaundice test."

"What? Is there something wrong with that?"

"No, you should be very, very proud."
