I´ve just read this sentence somewhere on this site.
"My Mum was pregnant(of me), when..."

When I translate this sentence into german, it becomes very funny. LOL
Or do I translate wrong? Is this sentence correct? Well, the sentece could be wrong, but it´s not possible because she´s a girl ;-)

(no no , I don´t want to make jokes about others english skills, I just think this sentence is so funny)

Hmm...Not sure but I guess it has to be "My mum was pregnant WITH me", or am I wrong?

When I translate it to Dutch it gives me the same awkward feeling that something is not right in that family......

Well, the person who wrote that made his own mum pregnant...

anyway, it´s easier than to be pregnant of your own mother, but very incorrect ! ;-

Very true! Maybe they were thinking these words when they wrote it..

"I was born before my father
And my children before me..."

Vladimir, we do talk about Paul, we talk about him practically all the time....including his rock´iness. Maybe you should take a look see at the other posts and you´ll see.

But we also talk about other stuff, including typo´s....lol
