"Ketika putri pertama saya lahir, suami saya memegangnya dan berkata, "Ya Tuhan, dia sangat cantik." Saya membuka bungkus bayi dari selimutnya. Dia ukuran rata-rata, dengan jari-jari tipis panjang dan berbagai macam jari kaki secara acak. Matanya tertutup, dan dia memiliki hidung bengkok dari ayahnya. Itu terlihat lebih baik baginya."

When my first daughter was born, my husband held her in his hands and said, 'My God, she's so beautiful.' I unwrapped the baby from her blankets. She was average size, with long thin fingers and a random assortment of toes. Her eyes were close set, and she had her father's hooked nose. It looked better on him.
