Without Peanut Butter, I Might

I Want You To Know It Was No Big Deal...those Movies Showing Women Screaming In Labor Are Plain Bullshit....there's Nothing To It...you Just Push And Push And Finally The Baby Pops Out...to Tell You The Truth I Don't Even Rember That Much About It Except There Was A Very Nice Guy Standing Over Me And Every Time A Strong Contraction Started He Gave Me A Whiff Of Gas.

My Mother Never Talked About Sex. I Was On The Dr. Ruth [ Westheimer] Show Once - This Is Years And Years And Years Ago - And It Was Her Mother's Day Show.

Books Opened Up A Whole New World To Me. Through Them I Discovered New Ideas, Traveled To New Places, And Met New People. Books Helped Me Learn To Understand Other People And They Taught Me A Lot About Myself. ... Some Books You Never Forget. Some Characters Become Your Friends For Life.

Having The Freedom To Read And The Freedom To Choose Is One Of The Best Gifts My Parents Ever Gave Me.
