Words of Wisdom:

GIVING BIRTH
The last couple of weeks of my pregnancy, I was huge. I went up over 200 pounds, and it was a hot summer, and I could barely get down the street. So I went to the hospital. When you are pregnant you can go anywhere. Nobody will stop you. I used to go to the front of the line at the movies and nobody would stop me because I would waddle in. So I went in to the hospital -- I would walk all over the hospital, and I would go specifically to look at the babies and say, "There is one of those in there." But yet when she was born, I couldn't believe it, and I was in shock. "There was a baby in there!" And I looked at her and she looked at me as if to say, "Yeah, there was a baby in there, what did you think?" And she's been like that ever since.

LOST AND FOUND
At the airport once I couldn't find her. The cart that you put your luggage had rolled over her, and she was so little that she was between the wheels, just lying there waiting to come out, and I thought, "I'll take care of you forever."
