“Often father and daughter look down on mother together. They exchange meaningful glances when she misses a point. They agree that she is not bright as they are, cannot reason as they do. This collusion does not save the daughter from the mother’s fate.”
Good memories. I got hit by a car my sophomore year of college and it was the best thing to happen to me. I broke my wrist. That semester I was given straight A’s, more money, and had my wind knocked out my chest for 1st time. Since it was my fault I didn’t sue.
You know what OBs tell you when you call at 5 weeks and say you’re pregnant? They smile politely and say make an appointment for 8 weeks. Because that’s when you even begin to see if the pregnancy is viable.
