That’s odd. I’m 62, and I can’t imagine anyone her age not getting the joke. “The rabbit died” was a very common euphemism for ascertaining one’s pregnancy.

Thanks Dio! I figured BG’s comment was a reference I was not getting. Glad I didn’t storm off to the Pit. I didn’t buy Jim’s explanation but yours fits.
