im sure everyone has a "when i was born" story. i know i did, mine was wild
my mother was home alone..in a small little house off base in Okinawa Japan..she went into labor, but was all alone. she tried calling for help but unfortunately she didnt speak the native language, and her phone calls went unanswered. she had finnaly gotten ahold of a english translation operator and was able to get the message to my father that i was being born. right there. in the living room. my sister no more than a room away playing.
my father on duty, raced for home as fast as he could. bringing the ambulance with him, they were not prepared for a baby.
so they get there..my mother was in labor for not even fifteen minutes and he bursts in the room, and there i was..born.
but the EMT's had no supplies for a birthing. so my father ripped the shoelaces out of his boot and used it to pinch off my imbelical cord with his own hands.
and thats how i was born
