When my very pregnant niece, a sergeant in the New York Army National Guard, accidentally knocked over a glass of water, one of her soldiers volunteered to help clean it up. As he was mopping up the mess, an officer walked in.

“Private, what’s going on in here?” he asked.

To the officer’s horror, the private replied, “Sir, the sergeant’s water broke, and I’m helping her clean up.”
