CROCHETED DOLL...
A man and woman had been married for more than 60 years. They had shared
everything. They had talked about everything. They had kept no secrets
from each other except that the little old woman had a shoe-box in the
top of her closet that she had cautioned her husband never to open or
ask her about.
For all of these years, he had never thought about the box, but one day
the little old woman got very sick and the doctor said she would not
recover. In trying to sort out their affairs, the little old man took
down the shoe-box and took it to his wife's bedside. She agreed that it
was time that he should know what was in the box.
When he opened it, he found two crocheted dolls and a stack of money
totaling $95,000. He asked her about the contents.
"When we were to be married," she said, " my grandmother told me the
secret of a happy marriage was to never argue. She told me that if I
ever got angry with you, I should just keep quiet and crochet a doll."
The little old man was so moved; he had to fight back tears. Only
two precious dolls were in the box. She had only been angry with him
two times in all those years of living and loving. He almost burst
with happiness.
"Darling," he said, "that explains the dolls, but what about all of
this money? Where did it come from?"
"Oh," she said, "That's the money I made from selling the dolls."
Week 23: Dancing baby alert!
Fetal development in pregnancy week 23:
fetus in sixth month
At this point you’ve pretty much adjusted to the fact you’ve got a
moving little gymnast inside of you, but now they’re going to kick up
the party a notch because they can hear and react to sounds from the
outside world. Sounds from your alarm clock, a thunder roll, or that
darned car honking at you across the intersection can actually jar
their little ears enough to elicit a kick or violent bout of squirming.
Of course this also means that their little ears are picking up the
sounds of your voice and those near you. So go ahead, sing a lullaby to
your little angel—if they start kicking, it’s likely they just want you
to stop… or maybe it was a kick of approval? You decide. Your baby's
tiny taste buds are still growing and their bones are continuing to
ossify (harden), their tiny veins are visible through their translucent
yet wrinkly skin. (Think of it this way: they’ve been swimming in the
equivalent of a long hot bath for the past 23 weeks, so you can’t blame
them for being a little prune-like.)
