I am a gift from heaven, but I guess I have a watery curse strung to my destiny .A Friday baby. Well that is what records of memory say.
I was born the way I continue to live unexpected, unplanned and strange. I guess God is bad at his math else I don't understand why God decided to send me to earth before time. Because of his miscalculation, I was born in an unreserved venue, unexpected date and unsought route. So on a rainy Friday, when my doctor and my mother least expected my exit from heaven I decided to wriggle out to get some fresh air. Right from the beginning people liked to drown me I guess. It seems I didn't weep. I wonder why that bothered that hell of a doctor whoever he was.Instead of being glad to see a no nonsense baby, he told the nurse to dip me in a basin of water and then it seems I cried.
Now what a humiliating way that felt to visit earth. I still feel humiliated that I came all the way from heaven to be drowned in a earthy basin of water. It didn't stop with that beginning. I had a lady to take care of me in my parents' absence and she on losing patience with me would put me so humiliatingly in a bucket of water, But I still smiled because after all it feels different when you know your drowner has to take you outside if you don't smile her way.
I do not know why the rhyme I recited at playschool said" Friday's baby is loving and giving" I think it should read "Friday's baby is drowning and swimming".
I guess the records are wrong,maybe I was born on a Wednesday..."Wednesday's baby is full of woe" my rhymes book says.
