When we were having my first son, my wife said, “This is all your fault!!” I told her, “You seemed to think it was a great idea at the time we started.” I then ran! Fast!!
Elly and the Johnstons tend to use different language to indicate what is in control of different things. Nature is almost always in control of child birth as you see with today’s comic strip and sometimes is in charge of illness and disease. However, when baby Leah was born with the extra finger, that was because the angels made a mistake in the baby assembly line. God and Jesus tend to show up around religious holidays (Christmas and Easter). Fate is in charge of job and/or romantic opportunities.

just you wait, Elizabeth, and you’ll know what it feels like (I’m sure she’ll give her future stepdaughter Françoise a half-sibling)

So, El, you seem to be implying that nature should have made it a full year before giving birth.

Not sure about that, my dogs mean more than all my material goods and I didn´t work hard to get them, just in the right place.

I think the Bible says (or implies) that women must suffer because of “original sin”.

We could be like elephants…I think gestation is close to two years for them.

For some reason it makes me think of my Nephews. I saw my sister pregnant and wondered if she was going to pop, like a balloon.

I only had one child. Don’t remember being as miserable as Elly even in my last months. I was a hairdresser up until almost the end.

Three weeks and three days and it will be (time for) April.

I always thought 9 months incredibly short, given the complexity of the thing being baked.
