One Line or Two?

As I writer I write about just everything. One of my characters as of late was taking a pregnancy test. I forgot which symbol was which. Was one line pregnant or two lines? I Googled it and all I came up with was pluses or minuses. So I had to do something I really did not want to do.

I called my mother.

Now don't assume I don't like my mother. I do. But she doesn't listen very well. The conversation went like this:

Me:  Hey, Mom, I have a question.

Mom:  What?

Me: It's for creative writing. On a pregnancy test what is pregnant, one line or two?

Mom:  What? Wait, what is the result?

Me: One.

Mom: One line good. Two lines bad. Why? Who took the test?

Me:  I dunno, some chick I just wrote about.

Mom: Oh! Okay. Don't scare me like that. Bye love ya *click*

So my mother thought when I was writing a story I was taking a pregnancy test. Thanks, Mom!
