I got a copy of my birth certificate in the mail today. It is strange to see the rote and foreign facts which describe the circumstances surrounding your entrance into this world. How many live births before me? 2 Mother's age? 37. "Sharyn" "Grace" "Johnson" weird weird weird. Babies don't have any baggage. They weigh less than ten pounds. If they are lucky, everything is done for them.
I saw a question at the bottom of the certificate which kinda confused me.
"What Eye Prophylaxis Used?: Yes"
So, Google.

Let me get this straight okay? You're a baby, you're born. They pull you out of your mother's womb into florescent lights, slap your ass to make you cry, then they take a clipper and sever the cord that connects you to her. They put a plastic band around your wrist and wheel you away, where they put drops in your eyes, stick a needle in your leg. If you are most males, they slice off your foreskin. If you were jaundiced, like me, they stick you in a glass box and shine and blue light in your face. Then they cover your genitals and wheel you up to a window where strangers come to stare at you. And that's with no complications.
Makes you wonder, doesn't it?
