A real horror movie...

Dear son,

Tonight your mom and I went to another Lamaze class at St. Luke's Hospital. There was a lot of questions and answers, and then we watched this video about three women giving birth. It had a hippie-dippy kind of feel to it, very crunchy granola. The video seemed to have been made in the seventies or eighties; it had a dated look, with corny writing. Oh, and by the way, the video showed everything, and I do mean everything. It showed stuff a guy doesn't really need to see, unless he's a doctor--or a veterinarian. I wonder why in this modern age, with the American people constantly demanding more and more convenience, and increasingly less willing to accept any discomfort, hasn't medical science come up with an easier method of childbirth that's routinely performed? It just seems like a lot of work for both the mother and the child.

Love,
Dad
