When I was 5 my little brother made his appearance into the world. My mother had made dinner then gone to lay down on her waterbed. She did not feel well and soon after laying down she yelled for me to come to her, I did. She said "Tell your Daddy that my water broke." I saw water, she was on a waterbed...I knew no better. I walked in to my dad, looked up at him and said "Mommy said her waterbed broke."
