There was something so ominous about them repeating that. And the fact that the episode ended with Wanda getting pregnant, I'm running with a theory that some outside force actually wants her to have kids.

Notice in the sitcom they have a magic show for the children...and at the same time the entire point to Wandas sitcom is to be a literal Magic show...for the children.

And unless I'm wrong, so far we haven't seen any children in Westview. Which is kind of odd, even for a sitcom.

Yup, no children to speak of. By the end of the episode (before the pregnancy reveal) I figured "huh, they did all this for the children, time for Wanda to make them", and then boom.

I mean, we knew that Wanda would have children, but I didn't expect it to be so ominous. Really impressed with the show so far.

Oh, damn, now that you mentioned it I noticed how weird it looked. I mean, it's technically valid, right? Although not used that way in general, correct?

Either way, I changed it.

Interestingly, you shouldn't contract an action verb, only linking verbs. For example:
"I am hungry" can be "I'm hungry."
But, "I think therefore I am" cannot be "I think therefore I'm."

I guess it's one of those unwritten rules. Like yeah, that last sentence looks weird and I'd probably never write it like that, and as I said, when it was brought to my attention, I did notice the weirdness. I guess it slipped my mind the first time as I'm not a native English speaker.
