I know this is fluff. I know it’s a waste of the three seconds you’re spending here to see if it’s worthwhile to keep reading. I don’t care. I laughed.

Cuz how can you be grumpy when the sun shines out your bum?

Oddbits

*Down on her beggin’ knees thanking the cosmos for her very excellent health care resources*

Note: I was fascinated that the doctor who eventually treated this woman interpreted her actions as evidence of “a mother’s instict to save her child.” Huh. Don’t get me wrong, but I think it’s at least possible she wanted to save herself from an excruciating death via childbirth.
