The greatest love of all

The wife called me from work yesterday, which is very rare.  She has called me from work only once or twice in the past year.  I was immediately concerned.
 
Wife:  I called my gynecologist today because I put on a few pounds really fast and my boobs have gotten so big that none of my bras fit.
Me:  Uh-huh.
Wife:  I wanted to know if it had to do with the new birth control pills she put me on.
Me:  Uh-huh.
Wife:  So she says, "Maybe you're pregnant."
Me:  Uh-huh.
Wife:  So when I went out for lunch I stopped at CVS to buy a pregnancy test.
Me:  Uh-huh.
Wife:  When I put it on the counter I used my left hand and put my hand on top so the clerk could see my wedding ring.
Me:  Uh-huh.
Wife:  Anyway, I couldn't wait until I got back to work so when I went to Dunkin Donuts to get my coffee I went in the bathroom there and took the test.
Me:  Uh-huh.
Wife:  And guess what?
Me: What?
Wife:  I'm totally not pregnant.
Me:  Next time please START THE FUCKING STORY WITH THAT.  I think I am having a heart attack.
