They thought I was a tumor...
Actually, for the first seven months of my in-utero
existence, no one even knew I was there. My mom just thought she was
gaining weight. My dad only noticed that she was running much slower at the
gym. It was when her stomach puffed out like a beach ball did she think
something might be truly wrong.
The doctor told her, "You have a tumor...with a
heartbeat."
Surprise!
Fast forward 28 years, and I also noticed I was gaining
weight like crazy. After spending my life teasing my mom, I found myself in an
almost-exact same position, only I was four months pregnant instead of seven.
Karma.
And that's life. I now spend my days chasing kids and
feeding dogs, and sometimes, if I time it just right, I get to escape into my writing.
Where do you live?
