Were she a little smarter she would have spent the valuable time she had before her pregnancy became noticeable coming up with a plausible excuse to give to her husband that could explain her simultaneously being up the duff and supposedly being a virgin, however, she was fourteen and short-sighted so she wasted her time.
So, when the inevitable question came from her husband she was unprepared. As a result her response was stammered and unconvincing; she knew how transparent it was but unbelievably he bought it (he was a carpenter, not an academic) and she thanked the God she didn't believe in.
She didn't even remember most of the details of the fabrication the next day.
Little did she know that her lie would have had such disastrous and hilarious consequences.
