The pants look navy blue due to the camera, as noted earlier.

You might just be.

On the night I found out my wife was pregnant (12 years ago), I had one bounce up and hit me right there. I was on the ground for a few minutes. Partner said "good thing she's pregnant, you may only have one." We did only have one.
