Baby dragons in their nest
The Mommy Dragon (that’s me) apparently has to do something to, ummm, produce the little baby dragon eggs (that’s K-dragon-to-be and L-dragon-to-be). And if you use the present tense, it’s a perfectly OK and not inappropriate verb.
But Mommy Dragon is simultaneously doing the dishes and trying to get as much caffeine into her body as she possibly can before the baby-dragons’-first-meal (that’s the baby) cries and needs attention. And the dragon-eggs-to-be get a little impatient to. . . enter the world. So they yell into the kitchen with their need, pleading with Mommy Dragon to please perform the birthing ritual!
But…they use the passive past tense of that perfectly OK and not inappropriate verb.
“Mommy, PLEASE! We need to get LAID!”
“. . . *sputter* *expletive* “Just a minute!”
Mommy Dragon needs to go change, as she just snarfed coffee all down her shirt.
