That’s a surprise
PROMPT July 27th
Write about a time you were caught off guard, surprised, or had the rug pulled out from under you. How did you recover?
Well it was 1973, nearly 47 years ago. A dark and stormy night, on our way to the maternity hospital. Things were getting worrying. We were lost. We’d only been in our new country for less than a year and in our new home for less than that. I told my husband to have a dummy run to the hospital but he’d ignored me. Contractions were coming thick and fast, this baby was going to be born very soon. We eventually stopped to ask directions, the driver was very drunk and sent us the wrong way. Oh, Google Maps, how we needed you then. Anyway we managed to get there eventually. Within five minutes of our arrival our son was born. Then came the kicker, there was another baby on the way we didn’t even know was there! Did we recover from the shock? Eventually.
