babies

 

In high school, I #kind of demonstrated the how-to of babies.


#vss365 (not really vss)


1. Keep one palm facing up.

2. With other hand, dangle a chain with locket.

3. Rub chain against the upturned palm, near the little finger, up down, thrice.

4. Separate them.

5. If the locket:

      (a) swings from left to right, you will have a boy.

      (b) goes in a circle, it's a girl.

      (c) stands still, try for kid later.


33 virgins and budding soothsayers, boys and girls, discovered parenthood that day.


My best friend, nearly in tears after many blanks, finally stood up and said, in a hushed whisper, "I have a baby girl."


I have never seen a father more proud.


Disclaimer: Any resemblance to fiction is purely coincidental. No virgin was abused in this act. Vulnerable amateurs should not take part in this #SquibGame. After the first edition, it was found there were only 30 virgins. 3 claimed to be not so. That's fiction.
