Flashback: You Had To Be There #2
Wink: Stress is when you wake up screaming & you realize you haven't fallen asleep yet.
By the time number two was to arrive we had moved handy to a large city, although our residence was 22 miles away from the hospital on the other side of it. Once again the cycle indicated we better get there - fast. She always waited until the last minute.
"Are you nervous this time?" she asked as we just got up to speed. "Nope, I am never nervous", I reply.
I was a smoker at that time (thank goodness that habit has long since disappeared), and decided it was time for one. I popped in the cigarette lighter and heard it pop out at the ready. As I am trying to light this health hazard, I guess I appeared to be wandering over the road a bit.
"What are you up to?" she says. "Stupid lighter doesn't work", I say. I try it again and it pops as before, "%$$@@ this thing is getting on my nerves" I say in disgust.
Then I safely glance down at the lighter to see whatzamatter. There between my grubby litte fingers glares a radio knob. Nervous Nope Not Me.
Gee that was a long time ago...
