How to make life more hell….

© Copyright Frank D. Kanu 2000-2008

This past night around 3 my wife woke me up to tell me that she is leaking a lot of fluid. We both thought that her water had broken. My wife is almost 38 weeks and our daughter was born 2 hours after the water broke. So we rushed to the hospital. Entrance via ER:

“We are here because I think that my water broke and that I am in labor.”
“You want to go to L&D?” Do I have to mention that the lady smelled from booze?
My wife said “Yes”.
“Just walk up to the L&D.” With a broken water you walk…? You know, you never learn out…

But wait, it comes better!

Once we arrive at L&D the 5 minute interrogation about name, b-day, age, previous pregnancies. Duh! Didn’t we just told we come because we think the water is broken? So a green dressed female - an alien as you might have guessed - approaches my wife, me and the kids and says: “You have to come by yourself. There is only one visitor allowed.”

Dang!

Bang!


That was my wife’s and my jar dropping on the floor - synchronously. We think my wife is in labor and the alien does not want me there?

My wife said “No“. I really admire her for staying calm!
I said: “We do not deal with this shit.” Yes, I wasn’t calm anymore…

Turned around and left. Leaving an irritated alien behind. Would you even want to give birth to your child with an alien around?

We ended up driving 80 miles to the next hospital where my wife got treated the way you think you are get treated when going in labor. No questions asked about our kids being there.

Just a false alarm—but which hospital do we go to when it’s the real labor…?
