I’ve been thinking about my babies (it’s what I do), and I got so tickled the other day when I remembered my first labor experience in the hospital. 

The nurse, after having hooked my abdomen to all kinds of monitors and my arms to IVs and blood pressure cuffs, told me to give her a buzz if I needed anything, and then she left the room. Well, I was uncomfortably in labor, so eventually I did need something. 

I perused all the buttons, probably made my head lift and lower, and then finally pushed the button with the cartoon nurse head on it. 

“Yes?” a voice said.

I looked at Seth and said “Whoa! Where is that voice coming from?” He didn’t know.

The nurse again said, “Yes, ma’am?!”

And I guess I had been so concentrated on everything attached to me that I had a momentary imagination that the nurse had actually wired me with a bug.

I lifted the neck of my ugly hospital gown and spoke down to the monitors: “Am I allowed to have some water?”

Suddenly aware of Seth’s perplexed face and of my own talking down my shirt like a secret agent, we burst out laughing.

For future reference, there is a speaker/receiver near that same nurse button on the bed. It’s not on your tummy.
