oh, David, I'm so sorry about your Dad. Many thoughts to you and your entire family.
his is great--Michelle Obama visits all-girls school in London, gets mobbed by the girls afterwards.
I love how she hugs the girls but I think it causes her secret service folks apoplexy.
I think the Secret Service has had many heart attacks due to the Obamas.
( ER: Babies are not that clean delivered vaginally. I know. I saw.)
ER used to have a history of just barely skating the edge of the child welfare laws with respect to birthing scenes. Apparently, much more often than other shows, would hire kids who were technically past the legal minimum age of 15 days, but who were born prematurely and were actually not even at their due date yet. And, in one instance, smeared a baby with cream cheese and jelly to simulate the birth gunk. After a while, they rightly got called on it, and have been pretty careful since then about what they do with babies.
sarameg, I totally agree! I cannot imagine!
I'm having such a weird week. All of these little things happen that are too small to record but I should anyway. Off to LJ.
I love how she hugs the girls but I think it causes her secret service folks apoplexy.
Am I the only one who thinks the Secret Service could maybe use a little apoplexy every now and again? Just to keep them on their toes?
It's funny to me because I'm not a birthy-parent person. I'll probably never have kids, so that was my one shot. It didn't bug me before, I just figured, whatever. Poetic license or whatever. Then I participated in the real thing and... yeah, NO. I saw all kinds of fluids and stuff. Baby peed on his mom, sister and dad within a few minutes of birth. I tracked all sorts of stuff down the hall. "Clean" did not happen until they gave him a bath, at home. "Clean" was not the delivery room. Stuff. Lots of stuff.
You know what confuses me? All the new characters on Sesame Street! I mean, Elmo seems old school. Who the hell is Murray? And Rosita? WTF? And the elephant?!?!
