The Beauty of Two Pink Lines

[Clodfobble]

1.) It is possible for a fetus to get the hiccups. It is possible, in fact, for him to get them for up to twenty minutes at a time, roughly every other day, for weeks on end.

2.) It is NOT possible for a fetus to have an allergic reaction in the womb (which one might worry about if there is a family history of potentially fatal peanut allergies.) This is because an allergic reaction is essentially nothing more than an immune response (to something it shouldn't be responding to) and the baby's own immune system doesn't kick in until after it's born.

3.) It is possible for your feet to swell not JUST so large that you can't get any of your regular shoes on... not JUST so large that you can't get your goddamn flip-flops on... not JUST so large that your ankle is literally a dimple inward instead of a nice protruding bone... but so LARGE, in fact, that the pressure is strong enough to break all the surrounding blood vessels, and your feet become two bruised and bloated water balloons.

4.) It is profoundly embarrassing to have to re-park your car somewhere else because you were estimating in old-school mode about what would be "enough room" for you to get out of the vehicle door.
