I fell apart as the contractions came close. <BR/><BR/>The midwife hung with it for a while but then decided that she may as well go home and let the next one deal with me. I was crying and hurting and very unhappy and seriously regretting my decision not to have drugs.<BR/><BR/>So I half heard her telling the other midwife, hey, I don't know, she was with it and together and strong-minded and in the last hour she's suddenly fallen apart and ... *vague pointing at me*<BR/><BR/>I cried again, thinking yes, falling apart! Help me! Give me a ceasarian, you heartless cow, anything! <BR/><BR/>And the new midwife took my hand and said "Hello, Sylvia, my name is Jane."<BR/><BR/>And something dredged up from those early lessons from my mom and I stopped crying and said "How very nice to meet you," and smiled before flopping back into a mess of new contractions.<BR/><BR/>Politeness.

My son announced "I have a penis" in the middle of the library once, when he was three. Everyone laughed, no one was shocked, and it was just No Big Deal.
