When I was a little girl
my momma worked in a small community Catholic hospital
She would tell stories about
"the gypsies"
when one would come in to have a baby
they all camped out in the lobby
"I envisioned BBQ, stories, large family bonding"
When the baby was born
there would be many to greet him/her
there would be many to greet him/her
I always thought that sounded great
as an only child I could only imagine the wonder of a large family
What I did not realize was with big families
you get big dramas
"oy vey"
"OK, you can take back the gypsies now"
(and send in the clowns)
"little pot stop"
