When I was little, I overheard my mother telling her friend that my cousin Dorothy was going to have a baby. I asked how that could happen, since Dorothy had no husband. My mother whispered that "Dorothy was a bad girl." From then on, I tried to be really good because if I wasn't, I would get a baby and everyone would know I was a "bad girl!"
