Securely Yours
By ELB | October 28, 2003
Once a good friend of mine pointed out that after an abortion, girls don’t want fast food. “Found THAT out…” I recently learned that after a miscarriage, girls do want chili cheese tater tots from Sonic.
It’s always jarring when your body betrays you. Each day we wake up fully secure in what our body is doing. Even surprises such as stubbed toes and massive, hurting zits can be dealt with with a minimum of strain. No one ever asks you how you’re handling the massive lurker on your chin, or whether you were trying to stub your toe. “Yes, we’ve been trying for months and our prayers have finally been answered.” No, you deal with these infractions because you’ve dealt with them before. But when you get into the bathtub to soothe a bout of female trouble, you never expect to start bleeding.
I’m unsure as to how to begin to handle this situation. Right now I’m going to continue laying on the couch, wrapped in my wedding quilt, trying to figure out what the fuck happened.
