Well, the first time I ever saw a CdS comic with the uh-oh baby was as I was getting prepared for Hurricane Isaac. I posted it on facebook:
Isaac tore off a large part of my roof, such that the storm poured in and totally ruined a portion of my house.
Alice, you are correct, the uh-oh baby IS a portent of doom!!

I have no idea how old I was when I first heard the word ‘portent’, what age I was when I learned its meaning or the age I was the first time I ever used it in a sentence if, indeed, I ever have used it in a sentence. But one thing I do know. None of those things happened when I was four years old, fourteen years old or even twenty four years old. I may not have used it in my whole 76 years I’ve been on this earth. I’m not sure!
