[QUOTE="dreamer, post: 51281, member: 1697"] what cracked me up was my mom telling me about her e xperience having me when she was 15 and I was 3 months premature back in the 50s. She showed up at hospital saying she thought she was in labor, and they told her she did not know what she was talking about, they sent her home, she went back, they yelled at her and sent her home, I was born in the hallway on her 3rd trip back to hospital. a year later when she had my bro- she wanted to watch him be born,. they told her "no" why? they said she was not old enough.
