GRETCHEN'S TOP TEN
(This is in response to the news that Tony and Carol just had a new baby.)
(Of course, they couldn't really have an old baby...)
GRETCHEN'S TOP 10 PET PEEVES:
10. No longer guaranteed stage time with the Underground;
9. Thought the "new apartment" would have a dishwasher;
8. So dark in there she kept tripping over that damned placenta;
7. Knowledge that mom will soon no longer find full force kicks to the
stomach amusing;
6. That whole Tyson-Holyfield thing;
5. Saying "I need another feeding like I need a hole in my head", then
realizing she kinda has one;
4. Every other kid in this place looks exactly like her;
3. Three nagging facts: Mom's a geek scientist, Dad's a geek scientist,
Mendelian genetics is real;
2. Clothing;
1. Everybody keeps talking about her weight.
Congratulations!!!
