Mom planned to name her baby after an STD
I called my vardo "Thebus". It amused me when people addressing mail enquired "which Greek god is she?"
my mother said pregnancy was a disease from which we never recover ....I tend to agree no matter how old we are still mother or father
Perhaps she thought all babies are an STD.
Well, all mammalian life is a sexually transmitted condition!
Many a newborn has been greeted with "the wee pox has finally come out" & "poxy wailing child"!
