Day 123: jam filled donut

So, the most recent episode of The Office I watched was the one where Pam gave birth

As I’ve mentioned before, I imagine that in the polyamorous version of events, Karen still gets pregnant, so when Pam gets pregnant it’d be the trio’s second kid. So, for instance, the daycare episode would probably take place during Karen’s pregnancy

Also, when Pam’s doing that whole “not going to the hospital until midnight” thing, it wouldn’t just be Jim freaking out but Karen too, and when Pam admits that it’s because she’s scared that she can’t do it, Karen would probably say that she knows how Pam’s feeling - after all, she’s been where Pam is - and reassure her that yeah, she can do it

Now, unfortunately, at the time when season 6 of The Office is set, you could not legally get gay married in Pennsylvania, so my “while all three of them can’t get married, Pam and Karen could marry each other because that way all three of them would legally be the parents of any children they have” idea doesn’t work if we fully adhere to realism. If we shift the timeline forward a few years, then it works. If we ditch realism altogether we can just pretend that the three of them can legally all marry each other. Take your pick

Jim’s discomfort with the lactation coach being a guy is the perfect opportunity for Karen to rib him about the double standard and make a sex joke at the same time* which is the only reason I still want that to happen in the throuple timeline. Also, as soon as Karen starts roasting him, Jim realises how dumb he’s being, so that problem’s fixed
