Bloody hell. Sounds like hoccus poccus. Now that sounds more like the miracle of birthing people out of your body... Uh.

As someone who's been through childbirth... this is hilarious. I can think of nothing more amusing than failing to achieve regular uterine contractions during labor, except maybe making up a word about it.

I wasn't begging for anything. I was here, going about my business, honestly denigrating someone's word page like a good wordie, and avoiding work like a terrible employee. And don't forget I already horked today over that stupid cat-princess thing.
Which reminds me: *hork*.

I try not to think of tappens when I can help it. And when I can't help it, electroshock therapy is useful.
