PTSD on Memorial Day!

 A customer at Wal-Mart came through my line last night.  As usual, I asked how he was doing.  He didn’t look like he was doing too well.  

He said, "I had a baby last night!".  

I looked at him with a surprised look and he said, "I didn’t.  My old lady did.  She had the baby in the bathroom.  I didn’t even know she was pregnant.  I feel like I have PTSD."

Wow!  I asked him what he named his son and then congratulated him.  

It’s hard to believe he never knew she was pregnant.  He said she gained 10 lbs and has a condition that causes her periods to be erratic.  So, as Paul Harvey would have said, "That’s the rest of the story."

Wow! I’ve heard that can happen. That must be quite a shock to just have a baby appear! LOL! That’s crazy!

I knew a lady that had 4 kids. She was overweight and in her late forties. She thought she had gas and was having an appendicitis attack when she had her 5th on the way to the emergency room!!

I would be thrilled to have a baby without any terrible sickness. It is neat that he shared that with you.
