Plus One

Funny story... when I was about 7 or 8, my Aunt Sheilaugh (yes, that is how you spell her name... but that's another story for another day) was pregnant with her first child - Colin. That year, I asked my dad what Labor Day was for, and I got some lame answer like, "Well, it's for people who labor." Really, Dad? Really?

Now, I knew enough to know that "labor" and "pregnancy" went together, but that's as far as my knowledge on the word extended. So, I was forced to draw my own conclusion and I replied,

"Oh, like Aunt Sheilaugh?"

Confused pause... Dad replies...

"Yeah... I guess so..."

And so, to celebrate Labor Day as it was truly intended... I present to you...

Don't you wish you could go into labor on Labor Day?
