[Lorelai wakes Rory up on her birthday at 4:03 am, the moment she was born, to tell her the story of her birth, a birthday tradition]
[whispering as if this is a fairytale] And it's so hard to believe that at exactly this time many moons ago, I was lying in exactly the same position --
Oh, boy. Here we go.
Only I had a huge, fat stomach and big fat ankles and I was swearing like a sailor--
On leave.
On leave -- right! And there I was --
In labor.
And while some have called it the most meaningful experience of your life, to me it was something more akin to doing the splits on a crate of dynamite.
I wonder if the Waltons ever did this.
And I was screaming and swearing and being surrounded as I was by a hundred prominent doctors, I just assumed there was an actual use for the cup of ice chips they gave me.
There wasn't.
But pelting the nurses sure was fun.
