Debutante

I was born at 6AM on a Monday morning.

At 9AM my mother called the office and said, "I won't be coming in today. I had a baby."

She'd hid her pregnancy successfully for 33 weeks. She didn't want to get fired--or treated differently.

Also, my mom loves a surprise.

  1. As I get older, I appreciate more and more what my mother accomplished.

    She's sneaky, though. Heh.

Grab an umbrella. Unleash hell. Your mileage may vary. Results not typical. If swelling continues past four hours, consult a physician.
