I'm a Saint Patty's Baby


I was born 48 years ago, at Joan Glancy Hospital, in Duluth, Georgia. I weighed 5 lbs, 6 oz. Mama said I looked like a baby rat. She didn't know until later...because she asked for 'knock-out' drugs. How did women give birth 'knocked out'????

I didn't even hear of St. Patrick's Day until probably middle school or later. About that time the holiday began being commercialized. Now it's another way for Hallmark, Walmart, etc., to make money from selling cards, stuffed toys, party supplies, etc.

I wear green, just in case someone has pinching fever.

Happy Saint Patrick's Day!
